HJ60 cruiser power steering box

My power steering has been groaning for a while now and has recently been leaking from the top seal on the box, I had it looked at today and they quoted me $750 for a change over box, plus fitment. I got a second quote from pedders and they wanted $876. It all seems a little much to me. Does this price sound right to people or is there a cheaper way of doing this.

Cheers

Sam

A cheaper way would be to source a second hand pump and box yourself, then pay to have it fitted. It's straight forward to fit, and only a couple of hours work.

The groaning you mention is possibly the pump, not the box, although as it's leaking you will need to fix or replace both.
