Mikey, I was thinking the same thing. Every Mopar I've disassembled has the wheel, steering column coupler, and pitman arm keyed to fit only one way. It's possible to file down the keyway on the wheel and column, but I've never had to do it. My concern is that Steer & Gear didn't reassemble Tim's box properly. I've never used S&G myself. I used Firm Feel for my Barracuda, and have an NOS box for my wife's Challenger. The Imperial needs to get on the road so I can assess the box in there... Something else Tim mentioned. The '67's used a different box from the '68-up cars? Other than diameter of the output shaft for the pitman arm, most Mopar power steering boxes are the same. Yes, there are difference for the Barracuda AAR/Challenger T/A box and the police package firm feel boxes, but generally the power steering boxes are the same design from the late '50's or so through the end of the M-body (as well as the end of the pre-'94 Ram, and the B-van front suspension change around that time). Is there something I've missed regarding the Imperial steering box? Is this another piece on my '67 LeBaron that I cannot swap with a more plentiful non-prestige Mopar?

Seems that my Imperial, Charger, Barracuda, and most every other car Ive ever owned was that way. I wont argue the point of getting the basic alignments down before getting the car to a front end shop, but as I recall the various shafts all have a master spline, including the pitman arm . On the subject of steering hoses....any competent hose shop should be able to make them, its just inverted flare fittings on the high pressure hose and they can usually re use the orifice in the center of the old hose. If they cant, find a different shop. Look in the archives, its been discussed several times before and I know that Dick Benjamin among others has made this same suggestion before.
