My 3rd steering box..

Two in a row from ebay seller failed, ...
The first gearbox blew the seal out the bottom after about two weeks..
Second gearbox totally failed and I lost all control of the Van, very scary moment..

Bought a 3rd reman unit from OReilly's and three of the 4 bolts securing the gearbox broke as the mechanic removed them (using impact gun), I was not pleased..

Currently waiting for him to return from Ford dealer with factory bolts, will keep you updated as the saga continues..
