Power steering cylinder

I have the car on a lift, all I did was remove the ram. I let the oil that drained
out fall ion a pan. Tomorrow I will let the car down and see if the oil drained out. The control valve does not appear to be leaking. I bought Castrol Dex/ Merc oil for it.
Rocket seals may can cross reference my seal number and get a loaded red seal. I will check with them.
I wonder why my car would have a bigger ram, I was told this a Ford power steering unit.

They do it by size, so get out your micrometer. I took the seals to them, and they measured them, and then came up with the proper seals. The biggest difference, is that they are the "loaded" seals, so pressure to the outer and inner walls, is applied all the time.
