Steering gear box

[rdsutton]

Truck in signature has a slow (add some fluid once a month) leak in OEM steering gear box? Appears to come from one of the lines off the top OR where the steering shaft goes in? Truck has 180K and OEM suspension. Replace or repair box or box, Power steering pump and lines, & while I'm @ it rebuild the vacuumed pump! what are some options for a new gear box & PS pump? What do I watch for if disconnecting PS lines from break master cylinder? Does the break master Cylinder receive driving pressure from sheeting gear box? Thanks Dave. P.S. The new drag link, steering stabilizer, & steering shock, & quater turn on the top adj bolt of the gear box all or part relieved all the steering wondering, drifting, and unintended lane changes. LOL. Dave

Borgeson Box if you're gonna replace it.. Spohn Performance has if for like $380-ish. It's ~$410 at Genos. So look and price around..PN# 800112 The new box is 13:1, vs 16:1 (3.5 turns L-to-L, vs. 4.5 turns L-to-L) so it's much more responsive.

Did you replace lines? PS pump?

I haven't replaced mine, yet.. But I'm a firm believer of the 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' routine. You can rebuild the PS pump and such for fairly cheap, and it isn't that huge of an under-taking.

I bought a rebuilt up here for around $150.00, it wasn't leaking, but loose as a goose's patooey when on the highway. I would have gone Borgenson if i had the cash.I didn't have any issues with the lines coming off and going back on. Good time to rebuld your vacuum pump as you will need to bleed the power steering pump after replacing the box, saves you from doing it twice.

My OEM steering box was leaking and I chose to replace with the Borgeson. I thought about rebuilt or replacement OEM but was concerned about the long term durability. That and the borgeson makes the steering lighter, more responsive.Borgeson 800112 is ~$360 from Amazon, free shipping.

What was the warranty with the box from Amazon? I assume it's the same 3 yr everyone else shows, but Amazon didn't say anything about a warranty. Thanks Bill

The warranty is from Borgeson and it is 3 years.
