The reman parts store units are a crap shoot as to quality. They only thing they do is clean them up and install new seals. The box itself could be worn out. Is there a reason why you don't want to get a completely rebuilt box from Firm Feel or Steer and Gear?
Firm Feel offers three different stages of "firmness".
Cost.... The reason I'm looking for alternatives to FF/Steer n gear.
As to why the Gran Fury box, just going through Rock Auto I know and Diplomats/Gran Fury's came with the cop box.
