Does anyone have experience with rebuilding steering gear boxes?
My steering has been a little loose, and I was going to go buy a new gear box (of course my 'burban needs the more expensive one :? )
They also have gear box rebuild kits. However the picture of the kit looks like snap rings, o-rings, and gaskets. I don't want to waste $30.00 on something I won't be able to use.
With over 200k on the gear box, do you think it would be best just to invest in a new one, or is it the bearings and seals that lose tension, and allow the extra play in the wheel?
Thanks
