Question Need help choosing new STEERING BOX ==========

Hey whats up guys ... I have a 93 F350 7.3 and I have been slowly rebuilding the truck ..... its pretty tight now but When you drive it, it feels like your driving a big bus. The steering is real loose and not very tight, it has 200,000 mile on it. So I am planning on putting a new pitman arm and steering gearbox in it. But what gearbox should I go with ?? OEM ?? aftermarket ???

My local shop told me that a new box would be around $300 -- oem .... but Ive seen aftermarket stuff for like $180 ... so any suggestions on what I should go with?? I just want a nice tight steering ride ..... if OEM is best that so be it ,, but what do you guys think ???

let me know


thx

when it comes to critical parts like steering and brakes and the such,oem is best but somtimes way to pricey.i would probably go with a good,reputable aftermarket component.guess it depends on cash flow.
