Re: Steering gearbox upgrade.

For the money I'd just buy a rebuilt box from someone local and not a parts store. Get a jeep grand Cherokee box if you want the 12:1 ratio. I didn't see anything in the description that makes me think these boxes are rebuilt any better then anyone else's.

Re: Steering gearbox upgrade.

I think the biggest problem is there are no replacement hard parts made. Absurd beyond belief, but GM is good at that. You cannot repair the ABS module, nor can you order a replacement unit from GM or the modules manufacturer, on 1998 corvettes either. So if something is out of spec on the steering box, there is no way to fix it without pulling used parts from another box.
