Seems to me that the real question here is "what is the desired
result here?" If it's to just stop the leak and keep the original
steering feel, effort, and precision (or lack thereof), then just
replacing the seal is certainly the cheapest and may well be
satisfying. I would rather do it myself than trust the generic auto
parts store "rebuilds" - even with the lifetime guarantee. Don says
" with the engine out, access isn't much of a problem. " but
imagine the engine back in and THEN replacing that lifetime
guaranteed rebuilt unit!
I love the Ehrenberg article, even though it comes mighty close to
being a commercial for FFI! That's what ya do if much improved
steering performance is desired and I don't know of anyone who
does their boxes like FFI. The major difficulty I see with that
approach is finding a front-end shop that will do the job that way
or having the equipment and experience to do it yourself or with
friends. Maybe a real heart-to heart talk with a front end tech
(and maybe some personal "lubrication", either monetary or
chemical) could get it done that way!

I
bought one from Steer & Gear and it was a big
improvement over the stock box.
My power steering
box is leaking on my '65 Satellite. AutoZone wants $105,
Steer and Gear wants $300. That's quite a spread. Even
given the "you get what you pay for" and the quality
warnings about sloppy rebuilds in general, it's still
real temping to buy the AutoZone unit.
Anybody ever get
one from either source?
