"New" steering box?
I Haven't heard of any new Mopar power steering box other than the Borgeson. Lares is known for rebuilding original cores but not to any upgraded state. If it was leaky and sloppy before, it will be dry but sloppy after the rebuild.
So you have no experience with Lares but you feel qualified to bash them.
Read this, Lipshitz....EVERYONE that complains about a Lares rebuild says pretty much the same thing: Their original one was sloppy and leaky while the Lares rebuild is just sloppy. They do not upgrade their rebuilt units. They are cleaned and REgasketed. EVERYONE knows this except for the idiots.
There has been no advertising campaign to push any new Lares steering box like there has been for the Borgeson. I doubt you'll find 10% of the classic Mopar crowd that knows about any new Lares steering box.
If it does not have the slop or the overboosted feel of an original, it would be a great option.
