Any of the parts store "rebuilds" is starting to mimic the carburetor problems we started seeing 20-25 years ago when parts stores were selling completely wrong junk. After my experience with steering boxes and the rebuild crapshoot, I just took the plunge and started rebuilding my own boxes. Same with power steering pumps. The more modern new stuff sure is nice, but if you're on a budget a $25 kit and an afternoon or two of your time to fix your existing box correctly is a small price to pay. Then you'll start wondering why guys change out for a parts store crapshoot anymore.
The advice Cliff & Jon have been giving out for 20+ years on parts store carbs being junk now applies to steering boxes and power steering pumps.
