I second the nomination! Steer and Gear I have had very good dealings with them The current steering gear in my charger is the "Modern Feel" and I am very happy with it
Is that the “firmest” or in the middle ? I hear they have 3 stages available . Thanks for the input !
I just checked the coupler “pot”, I feel VERY little play, maybe 5 thou. Barely perceptible . Can hear the shoes in the pot move. Likely needs more grease. I’ll change it out for new when I do the box.
If they are not loose then just clean it and put some wheel bearing grease in there. The original parts are good quality. You can get a new seal for the cover but the cover is very tricky to get swaged back on and have it stay. There is a wire retaining clip you can find to help keep the cover on. You might want to locate and purchase one of those.
Thanks ! Wish I could wait for Carlisle or the Nationals in Columbus, but I need to fix it this winter. Shipping should be $30-40 one way.
I am curious as to what you decided to do? I am also debating between the Lares 11033 box and a re-man from Steer and Gear.
I put in a Borgeson box and related parts from Bergman Autocraft. He is a vendor listed on here. His customer service is excellent. The steering is very similar to a late model. NO play at all. I found out my Moog idler arm from 20 years ago has slop ! Got to change it to a roller bearing from firm feel or Bergman. The Bergman kit is more $, but I feel worth it !!!
