steering box

anybody know of a good steering box

'93-'98 Jeep Grand Cherokee box! or the 73 SS box is really good as well

GC '93-'98 boxes offer a faster steering ratio (12.7:1) making your steering more responsive. Further, the T-Bar is bigger thereby giving you a better road feel as well. Additionally, the appropriate GC box lines up with the factory frame holes, uses the same length/thread bolts to hold box on. You will need to get a rag joint from a mid 70s chevy truck and either use the LEEs adapters or swap to the new style metric O ring lines (which is what I did) I just went through the salvage and got all my parts

whats the difference between the malibu box and the ss box

The 73 SS box runs a varible ratio of 15 to 13:1 and runs a large Torsion bar 17-22 for more road feel. The malibu box has a varible ratio of 16 to 13:1 and runs a 12-17 or a 14-20 Torsion bar

what do you mean by metric style o rings are you talking about the ones that are on the earlier 90s chevys with serpentine system

The Jeep box runs a 20-26 Torsion Bar Size

Yes pretty much any other newer like mid 80s and newer chevys run.

so in theory i can get the stuff new and it should bolt right in just get the gc box and newer chevy lines

Yes but you will have to change the high pressure output adapter inside your pump to swap from the flared line to the o ring line. Its easy to change, it just unscrews from the back of the pump, but be careful as it has a valve and spring behind it, that will need to go back in.

If your going to buy new, might as well find a fast ratio box that uses the correct lines. I perfer fixed ratio and the highest torsion bar size. which is why I went with the Jeep box. Cost me about $60 bucks at the salvage to do the swap.

so id have to take the pwer steering pump back off

I found this, you could get these adapters

so i take it the torsion bar i just bought wont work with the chrysler steering box and how come chrysler products work on chevy

I bought a steering box for a 1975 Z-28 camaro. It definitely doesn't turn as sharp in a parking lot as it used to, but it is so much tighter now, and is awesome to drive.

Some company out there does make a rebuilt-steering box that has a tighter turn radius of the 80's GM cars but also retains the older size o-rings. They mentioned the company in an older PHR when they did the swap on their Laguna.

ya its classic performance products (cpp)or something like that but id figure id shop around and ask people on here a good one instead of going out and buying one because a magazine says so
