RockinRiviDad Posted September 29, 2020 Author Share Posted September 29, 2020 Two years ago I upgraded to a quick ratio steering box after my stock box started to leak. I didn’t need one of the fancy boxes. I simply went to a shop that rebuilds steering gear boxes & told him what I was after. His idea was to comb thru his stock pile of used Saginaw boxes with the same bolt pattern & rebuilt it. We found one with a quicker ratio & wha-lah...no leaks plus quicker ratio...I cant remember what the new box came from tho Fast forward to the present time: I had clearance issues with my headers hitting the passenger side upper control arm. Now I noticed clearance issues with the steering gear box. It dented my headers...UGH!! So I dropped the box, used a cutoff wheel & cut the protruding nub off. Doing this kind of work while laying on the garage floor is nooooo fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockinRiviDad Posted February 15, 2021 Author Share Posted February 15, 2021 Like the song says “I Can See Clearly Now…” 😆 My 57 year old glass was in horrible shape. I’ve got 16k miles on my car since I got her back on the road & I always had trouble seeing thru the windshield (mainly when driving at night). I found a auto glass shop who even had the original replacement green clips. They used 5/16 foam & silicone (not butyl rubber like I did when I put my old glass in 3 years ago). The glass has a green tint & dark tint across the top. It does not have the original marking on it but it does have a DOT number. I’m just glad “I can see clearly now” 😆 Makes for a better cruise experience 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
