$100.00 power steering box

Postby FoPAR on Tue Nov 17, 2009 6:14 am

Been going to the wrecking yard a bunch this week and one of the trucks has a power steering box on it still, everything looks good and they are asking $100.00 for it. It's the only part I need to change mine over when I do the 460 motor swap. Does this sound like a good price for these? I've seen complete power steering kits from $400.00 up to $900.00 so $100.00 for the box didn't sound to bad. Just wondering.

You can get a new rebuilt box (A1 Cardone) from Advance for $132.99, with a core charge of about $30.  So, if you don't have a core, the full price would amount to $162.99, which is not much more than it would cost to buy that one for $100 and replace the seals.

It has a lifetime warranty, which is great since the seals in these boxes are bad to leak after a few years.   :doh:

I know someone who used to work for Cardone, and their quality control is superb!!   :thup:

I put one of these on my truck, and I'm well pleased!!! :woohoo:

That may be a better route, if you've got the correct pitman arm.

That's not an oil leak :nono: That's SWEAT from all that HORSEPOWER!! :thup:

IMO, that is too steep. I plan on going the same route as 70_F100.
