[QUOTE="slowmo, post: 643735, member: 3984"] These are the parts from my steering box rebuild. My steering pin was the one piece design but I brought a replacement NOS one which was two piece. I replaced all the rollers with new ones on the pin. I also replaced all the ball bearings on the worm gear. A bad worm gear normally has damage/marks in the bottom of the valleys where the pin had worn such that it sits into the bottom of the worm. Also look for flat spots on the steering pin as they stop spinning and get damaged. [/QUOTE]
