Leaking Steering Gear box
Has anyone ever had any work done by Red-Head Steering Gears out of Auburn, Wa.?
I'm might be needing a gear box rebuilt or maybe buy one already rebuilt.
Any sugestions will be helpful.
Thanks in advance.

Many of us have done the redhead box. There have been group buys even. A very few noted troubles. Majority of us love it. Myself I have no steering slop. Some say not worth the money and buy other rebuilds. Searches should give you a bunch if info.

I would go to your local parts house such as Advance or AutoZone or....and get one. They have lifetime warranty were redhead is like 3 or 6 months...maybe a year warranty. If you go to their site, they do not do much extra for the high price they charge.

I have an 07 F250 that I use for plowing and all other work related things. I put a Redhead box on last fall and the truck drives like a new one. I highly recommend Redhead....I can't vouch for any of the others. The price was fair for those that I did price before buying Redhead, they do beef them up some with bearings vs. bushings and their tolerance are suppose to be closer than Ford specs.
