Manual Steering Box...assistance needed...

There is alittle more to rebuilding a manual box. The worm gear teeth will usually have a worn spot from being used in the center position from driving with the wheel in the straight position. If you don't reface the teeth and remove this worn spot the box will have that Bind feeling when you try to remove the play in the center position. By this i mean it will feel nice and tight in the center position but you will feel a bind when turning the shaft to the left or right. As far as weather yours is a bushing box or one that uses three stacks of needle bearings (total of 121) depends on the last three digits of the casting number. 349 is a needle bearing box, 350 is a bushing box. There are other part numbers but these are to two most common. I sell the worm gear bearings and races if you need them.
