I am posting this here to see if anyone here has tried one. I would if it was up here in Canadian funds. https://www.forcbodiesonly.com/mopar-forum/threads/steering-gear-box-choices.66084/ https://www.buyautoparts.com/buynow/82-00475_an?utm_campaign=4142120_Sovrn+Commerce+%28formerly+Viglink+Inc.%29&utm_source=cj&utm_medium=aff&utm_content=4142120_Sovrn+Commerce+%28formerly+Viglink+Inc.%29&utm_term=12659908&cjevent=20b3073bf84b11eb83a302f00a82b82d

It must be based off a newer production steering box. One posted on FABO and has issues…. Whine and tightness. https://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/threads/tight-ps-gearbox.497139/#post-1973548110 I searched Lares… and they are based out of Minneapolis. They claim this is a more modern box. Also significant they sell pumps, pump valves, steering gear nut and washer, high pressure fitting adapters, etc http://catalog.larescorp.com/select/Dodge/Challenger/1971/ And get this… they are selling a T/A steering box. Odd since all that was was increased feel and different end stops (to accommodate longer pitman sweep). Last edited by autoxcuda; 08/10/21 01:12 PM.

But this Lares box doesn’t appear to be that same casting. Not a lot of pictures of the Lares box though.

Could you give some details on the cure? I installed two boxes on a clients car and he wouldn't live with it, so out they came. Felt great tho.

On FABO, members have reported adding valves. I think from Peter Bergman. Last edited by autoxcuda; 08/14/21 10:19 PM.

Now I can actually drive the car at low speed and maneuver it in tight spots such as in my shop. I used a late model Corvette PS pump and it doesn't make any noise.

He was going to make a production run of Mopar BB covers but his business went sideways and I don't think his shop is still open. So I'm not sure what happened with the files. I do know that I never got paid for the design.
