Re: Cracking Power Steering Boxes

I'm guessing the boxes are designed to fail in that way when pressure gets out of control. Both of mine have blown out in the exact same place. I blew out both of mine with less than a mile on each.

Re: Cracking Power Steering Boxes

Hi all. I just wanted to update this thread on the resolution to my issue...

I talked with the folks at AGR and they were incredibly helpful. We walked through some troubleshooting but ultimately they asked me to send the pump and my steering box to AGR so they cloud test them. They disassembled the pump and found what they thought was a piece of hose in the return portion of the pump which they thought may have been causing pressure spikes. They cleared the hose debris reassembled the pump and ran it on a dyno with no issues. They then completely rebuilt my reman steering box with new AGR parts (essentially a new AGR steering box). I got them both reinstalled tonight and both seem to work well. Only cost to me with the shipping.

I wanted to share with everyone because I thought the customer service AGR provided was top notch.
