• Input Shaft Bearing Adjusting Nut or Lock Ring • Input Shaft Bottom Bearing Plug • Input Shaft Rubber Water Seal (short shaft boxes) |
When you send in your steering box for a rebuild, if you send the Pitman Arm and
attaching parts along with it, we will clean, blast and paint the pieces at no extra charge. |
If you send in your Steering Coupler, we will clean, blast and (if you request) clear-coat
it at no extra charge. |
Steering Boxes are normally refinished in a dark cast-iron paint to simulate the
natural cast finish and provide protection against corrosion. If you request, boxes
can be brushed to a more natural finish and clear-coat protected for a more
concours appearance. If you send your box in with the Pitman Arm still attached, we will properly remove, clean, blast, paint and reinstall the arm for your convenience at no extra charge. If your box is disassembled, cleaned for inspection, and found to have other damage or worn components that need replacing, we will contact you before working any futher on your box. If you want your core returned to you without doing a rebuild, there will be a $ 10.00 service fee to cover our costs of teardown, cleaning and inspection. |

PLEASE NOTE! |
So-called "improved" bearing |
Correct needle-count bearing |
Some places rebuilding Mustang & Ford steering boxes re-use old bearings, particularly
the input shaft thrust bearings. WE ALWAYS USE NEW BEARINGS IN OUR REBUILDS. |
Some rebuilders advertise and use an "improved" sector shaft bearing for better lubrication.
This is simply a cheaper needle bearing with fewer needles inside it
and allows a slightly greater chance of grease to get into the bearing. It also
provides less support for the sector shaft and allows more play in the gear
mesh. WE ALWAYS USE THE BEARING WITH THE GREATER SURFACE SUPPORT. This is the same
needle count style as the original bearings. |
