Default Steering Box Rebuilder

Quite a while back, I read here that a company in Missouri did excellent work in rebuilding steering boxes, and reasonable prices. I thought I wrote the name down.......guess not. I have searched the forum, but cant find mention of that company. If anyone knows who that company is, please PM me.

Many Thanks

I thought there was a recent thread about a guy in CT that did steering box rebuilds. His name is Gary???? Used to be on the forum and the claim is that he was forced out? IDK???

I'm sure some the forum vets know who this person is.

Good luck.

GTR1999 Check the other forum if no response here.Another option is the Borgeson steering box.Search the forum,there are many threads on the subject.Go Borgeson and eliminate the control valve,ram and hoses under the car.

OP said he wanted the name of the company in Missouri. Maybe he lives in Missouri. If he wants Gary's info, he can ask that.

Hopefully someone can come up with the name of the place.

Not sure if I have the right company? My friend owns a Towing Company and he uses them for the flat bed trucks. I got a rebuilt box for my Ram 2500 pick up......I was not overly impressed, but then again its a truck, so who knows?

FWIW... I used Bairs in PA

Another option is contacting Tracdogg2 here on the forum (Mike). Based in the Dallas area, well known for steering box, rear end, etc. rebuilds. Good Luck!

Here is the address for the Lee Manufacturing website:
http://lee-powersteering.com/steering-gears.htm

Tom does show some manual gears on his home page but I really think that his forte' is custom built power gears. Contact Tom directly for the answer on manual gears.
