steering box
I got my new bd track bar put on and still have slack.:argh: Got my wife to wiggle the wheel and heard my steering box clunking a little bit and saw the arm wiggling. Will the box brace fix my problem or do i need to rebuild the box and get a brace to keep the newly built one from wearing out.

Make sure your steering box is still tight.
|
The brace will help prevent premature wear to the steering box. It won't fix it though.
|
that is kinda what i thought RA. has anyone done a rebuild on one or would you suggest a new or rebuilt one.
|
I never had to look into replacing one, but I would go new or rebuilt. A rebuilt with a core would be a better price.
|
I have done some searrching and from what I found it is a pretty complicated to rebuild the box and the seals and bearings are hard to come by. 195.00 for a reman box is the best price i found so far. that plus a brace plus the bd track bar i just installed will put me up to 800.00 buckaroos. :dang: hope my wife doesnt see this. :w2:

i agree it better to go with a new or rebuilt one and 195.00 sound pretty reasonable i paid 235.00 a couple of years ago before i knew about diesel bombers :argh::argh:

Got the new box on. Man what a difference. Still a little play in the wheel but what the hell. It is a dodge. If I got all the play out it might die. I guess I will look into a brace now. Thanks for the help guys.
---AutoMerged DoublePost--- Forget that last post. My new box came with lots of slack so I adjusted that out. I have also noticed that it takes twice as much effort to turn to the right. Also the big cup on the front of the box moves in and out a little as the wheel is worked back and forth. I am at a bit of a loss here. :ouch: |
