Bendix Power Steering Gear Rebuilder

I've read a lot of the posts about the cons of the Bendix unit, but that's what I have. I don't seem to have the "twitchy" oversteer, but it does leak a lot.

My question today concerns an outfit in Camarillo, Ca, called The Rebuild Factory. Has anyone had them rebuild a Bendix power steering gear, and if so how long did it last without leaking?

I am in North Carolina, so maybe there is a rebuilder closer. If anyone knows and has experience with same, I would appreciate hearing about them.

Thanks,

Gator
