Re: [FWDLK] Power steering leak

[eastern sierra Adj Services <esierraadj@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've previously reported that, when my car's P/steering gearbox was
leaking, like a 'sieve', I bought a wrecking-yard gearbox, from Moore's
, of SD, & had it be sent, directly, to Lares Corp, for overhaul.

Lares charged me $600.00 for their work, & YEAH, when I got the
gearbox-unit, from Lares, it was painted black!!

So, I got out my drill, & several wire -wheels, & removed Lares'  paint
(who KNOWS what the physical-condition was, of the "overhauled" case?) ,
and polished the aluminum(?) case, so that, by the time I finished, I
had a very pretty piece, which I ,then,  clear-coated.

Altho I had NO idea, what to expect, from their overhaul, I was, & AM,
very-happy with the steering-response/feel, & the lack of any
leaks/defects, associated with their work.

I've offered to sell my car's leaking, but otherwise
perfectly-operational, p/steering gearbox, for the same $250.00, that
Moore's charged me, for their wrecking-yard piece, that Lares
overhauled, so that someone else could have MY piece  be overhauled, &
installed in THEIR car, so that their car is never 'down', while their
gearbox might be sent-out, for 'work'.

Also, by having a back-up unit, if there is some "problem" associated
with the O/H, your car will not have to be dead-in-the-water, for a
prolonged time.
