RedHead Steering Box Installed Yesterday

WoW! What a big difference. My steering became so sloppy it was dangerous. The cost of the part was more than I expexcted. Most places have them back-ordered, so he is charging $450 with additional $250 core charge. I got him to $400 without shipping. However, One of the best mods I have had done.

It doesn't wander at all & there is no play in the wheel. I would say yes.
