And as for just going out and getting a R/B Pw Strg Box well I am from the Older Generation that try's to use his brain as much as possible you know exercise thee old noodle. Giving up and buying someone else's work is the easy way out any body can do that, its like being brain dead if you know what I mean. Not trying to offend you its having that pride thing in what you can do.

I'm that way sometimes too I guess. Anyhow, I don't think anyone rebuilds their own steering gears anymore. I bought a redhead. Here's what they do below. Plus install that gear and see if it works, it might be good already.

Our re-manufacturing process:

Machining out the housings and installing needle bearings
Flame-spraying or replacing the shafts as needed Installing new control valves on some applications
Custom fitting each worm & piston assembly with special ordered, precise over-sized ball bearings.

Other things we do to produce a top quality product include:

Install every sector shaft on a lathe to check for straight and true
polish the sealing surface to a higher polish than new.
