Angelfish Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 As it says. I have a 1957 Special with manual steering. Steering box leaks when the oil is topped off. Car has not run in many years so I can't say if it's loose or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFranklin Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 You might look for a good general machine shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superbuick Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Car doesn't need to run to verify if box has play in it. Feel it, then inspect to see if it has adjustment remaining. You can get special gear box lube that is a 1500 weight gear lube for steering boxes. I have bought it from a Ford Model A supplier. If you put 90 wt gear in the box it will leak out.

rmartens Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 When I called Lares to get a quote on rebuilding my 56 Century power box and pump, THEY told me Rock Auto was the best route to go, as Lares did the rebuilding for Rock Auto. When my parts arrived from Rock Auto, they were in fact Lares rebuilds. RA was cheaper than Lares would have charged directly, and Rock Auto makes cores returns easier as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
