Looking into a new steering gear today just wondering on other peoples experiences.
The local autozone,oreillys,and advanced dont have too hood of reviews on theres.
Whats out there? Thanks

 

I also been looking and I agree most of them suck. It seems the only option is to get a Remanufactured Motorcraft. But its a bit steep in price.

 

I've had good luck with napa parts. Put a steering gear on our 94 250 service truck an no probs with it. I have no complaints bout napas parts...

 

google search ((((redhead ford power steering gear box)))))

Priced at $123, if you don't return the 50$ core. So like 75 + shipping ain't too bad. Just go to rockauto.com and follow the site to find the part. I used 'em when I owned my BMW and always sent good parts on time.

I gotta do my gearbox as well, unfortunately I am not knowledgable about how to change it, so I might let a shop touch her

 

Thank you guys

 

Took me maybe an hour and a half to replace mine. Unhooked the steering lines, the drag link, had to cut off one mounting bolt and was able to use a air ratchet on the second and with a few hits of a hammer came off. Reversed procedure to install, new fluid and good as new. Got the box with a new pitman arm.

 

What is the problem you are trying to fix by changing the gear box? I ask, because I have a '92 F 150 4x4 and ther is a lot of free play in the steering and was going to change the gear box hoping to fix it.

 

Yep, Its to do exactly that. to remove the play in the steering wheel.

Mine is horrible and VERY scary going 50+ mph

 

Thanks
