Having issues with steering boxes on a 67 Camaro, been through a couple reman boxes it seams after a couple seasons they are worn and have lots of play. Guessing wheel stands are hard on them. Any recommendations on a quality unit?

I bought a new Vega. Box from either Jegs or Summit. No issues with that except the 3 bolts in the top came loose. Gives a bit more header clearance on that side. Check your bump steer. If that is out of whack it will put stress on the steering system. I put a bump steer kit on mine and it is with in 1/4 inch through the entire travel.

I contacted Bob Blackwell about changing my box out to a Vega style box and was told not legal in Stock per Wesley.

You can rebuild these boxes easily, Midwest Directional Services offers a rebuild kit #RK550, 816 796 6400. It consists of brg. races, bsg. and seal, no special tools needed. Make sure worm and sector gears not worn.

One of the best in the country is Redhead Steering in Seattle, Washington.
They rebuild and improve old steering boxes and make them better than new. https://redheadsteeringgears.com/ |
