[QUOTE="thejones's, post: 489939, member: 18156"] LHD Steering Box off my 1969 microbus. I swaped it for a guaranteed good one I brought off a company that does power steering conversions on busses. The 'new' one was as bad, if not worse than this, which led me to replace the rest of the steering components - the main culprit being the pitman arm pin! I've stripped and cleaned the box as it had 40+years of grime and its come up as pictured...it's had new seals, there was no visible wear to the steering peg. The only wear I could find was slight axial play on the drop arm shaft. I'd say this box will have slight play, but nowhere near as bad as I thought - if I'd have replaced the other bits 1st, I wouldn't have changed it! £100 [img]http://i695.photobucket.com/albums/vv313/hanpug25/a84967527848250d335663175c7170a1.jpg[/img] [img]http://i695.photobucket.com/albums/vv313/hanpug25/b59e221e50f23a8601e516aaf0647a90.jpg[/img] [img]http://i695.photobucket.com/albums/vv313/hanpug25/0397aa5574fa8c9cd40a0c3768f961e8.jpg[/img] [img]http://i695.photobucket.com/albums/vv313/hanpug25/2f2c8d3d4d1a59bf99171e65d756b606.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
