My box is leaking at the pitman shalft, and to spend over 15 grand for a box, no, thanks. So have anyone be able to get a rebuild/overhaul kit for it, and is there anyway to change the ratio, different worm shalf, power-piston avail? Thanks

bill r has bought one and used it, i think it was like $30 from bma and something reasonable from a dealer. has the rubber parts with it, you'd need to ask him for specifics.

I had the steering box rebuilt by a specialist in the UK for £160 plus postage. If you're in the UK and have a V8 then I have a spare steering box, a bit slack (that's why it's not in the car) but not disastrous and, most importantly, not leaking.
