Steering Box Question
My steering box on my 79 F150 2wd is wearing out. too much slop in the steering wheel. had the front end checked out and everything is tight. I have had this problem with other trucks I have owned and I just dealt with it. However, with this truck I want to fix it right. Are there any companies out there that offer a updated, more reliable version?

Personally no, but more than a few forum members here have and i've only heard good things about Redhead.

Did you check the rag joint first?

Then looks like the gearbox is dead. Come back with a update -- I'm thinking about doing the same thing. I'm tired of overcorrecting all the times.

I'll do that. It will be a while though. I'm layed off right now.
