Who sells new steering boxes?

And I don't mean 'who sells reconditioned steering boxes, but suggests on their website that they're brand new'. Can you buy these things new? Whatever, can anyone recommend a good supplier? Perhaps a guaranteed used part? I've had two now from the same supplier and they're both rubbish. Was a step in the right direction though - the second one was a little better than the first. The first one leaked and had too much play in it. The second one's just got too much play it it. I just want one that works properly please.

 

Vwheritage do new Lhd ones I believe not sure what you need though.

 

I'm after an RHD. I now know that you can't buy these new anymore - all the RHD ones are recons. I guess I'll just have to exchange the second one and hope that the third one works properly.

 

If you have one spare, why not find a gearbox place to recondition it for you? Won't be cheap if it's a one off, but you will know that it'll end up right. Supergears are highly recommended:

what's your front beam like ?

if your going to need a beam soon and a steering box then a red9 front beam with steering rack isn't that much extra

 

i have one i took out of a van i broke in good condition , £100 delivered own nw

 

Fix the box(es) you've got.

If you're concerned about slop, BTW, the standard box properly adjusted should have zero slop in the straight-ahead, but quite a lot of play at full lock. This is normal.

 

remove yours , take to proper engineering shop , ask to see previous work , job done , as i understand , "hen"s teeth"

 

Heritage are advertising new steering boxes ... wait for it at the princely sum of ................... £560 ???

 

anyhow, called "MEGABUG "?I got my recon from them and its well ok and good advice too
