I'm trying to figure out what differences (if any) there are between what is labeled as a 'remanufactured' steering box vs a 'rebuilt' box.
I want to replace the manual steering box in my 65 B-body and have found a variance in price and was wondering if this is just a result of volume or the quality of the box.
For instance, Firm Feel lists a rebuilt 24:1 manual box for $299, plus a $200 core charge.
Steer and Gear lists the same thing for $275 plus a $175 core charge
Places such as carsteering.com and other online sources list it for around $215 plus $100 core charge, which is alot less than Firm Feel and Steer and Gear.
I believe that what you would get from Firm Feel or Steer and Gear are considered rebuilt.
I am curious to know what would be the difference with a box from someplace like carsteering.com (remanfactured) vs. Firm Feel/Steer and Gear.
