power steering, Lares coperation.-beware
I tried to return a rebuilt power steering box out of my 70 gto this weekend, only had 300miles on it, still looked new, but did not function properly. I bought local to support local buisness. this particular company (Lares Coperation) does a lot on ebay as well. Even though is was still "like new" with the Lares coperation inspection sticker still on it, they told me to take a hike witout a recipt. his exact quote "you could have just found that box in the junkyard" really? lot of 70gtos in the junkyard? yes i guess the burden of proof was on me, but jesus- cant any one use some common sense. buyer beware if you buy a box from them. - Ryan

Bad experience w/ Lares rebuilts........
I purchased a rebuilt p/s pump and gearbox from one of the Pontiac suppliers for my 68 GP and experienced problems w/ both units. The supplier refunded the price of both units, but I am out the labor to change them out. The cores on both rebuilt parts were so badly worn that they were not even suitable for rebuilding. I ended up rebuilding my original steering box and purchasing a new "blue-printed" pump from Summit after trying THREE other pumps from local auto parts store, none of which made more than 400psi instead of the spec 1500psi.
With only well-worn used cores available for rebuilding, I advise members to disassemble rebuilt pumps & steering to check them for out-of-spec wear before installation. Les
