If you have adjustable Drag Link (steering rod) get a GU box
Stronger and they make the steering so much lighter

FYI, the ball joint ends are different for a GU Steering box. The taper is slightly outa wack.

I understand that this is the easiest way and I have allready done that. Now we have a 3 month old reco box with a broken sector shaft that I can fix with a new shaft and a new botom seal. The question is where can I get a new shaft????

I have adjustable tie rod and the ends fit in perfect, just up the other way (comes in from the top rather than the bottom)
