I need help with a steering gearbox rebuild
I need a rebuild kit for my steering gearbox and I've learned Amazon's car part finder is not trustworthy
so far I've bought Edelmann 8522 which Amazon said was the right one for my 84 2wd and it wasn't, the first part I tried to put on was the wrong size, a piston seal so i searched using the number on the casting 7802644 L and found the next one Edelmann 7857 on Rock Auto and that kit is not right either. The bearings are way off. The casting https://i.imgur.com/6OWa6dbl.jpg |

Went to oreillys and ordered the Precision 28401229 which oreillys said was the same as the GATES 350440 but the bearings aren’t the same, the original has a raised ring around one end. I’m going to measure all the parts when I get home
Is this ok Or do I have a bastard gearbox? |

Re: I need help with a steering gearbox rebuild
Most folks just chunk out the cash and replace the box. I've done that in the past.
I'm glad to see someone pursuing a DIY rebuild. I hope you make it happen, and I further hope you document it to encourage others to do the same. I've got a box that was left out in the weather with the lines off. I may pursue a teardown and rebuild of that at some point. If I do, I'd be thrilled to be able to follow someone else's experience, instead of attempting to blaze my own trail. |

Re: I need help with a steering gearbox rebuild
Some of the earlier Unit Repair manuals have detailed service info on the steering boxes.
The parts books will have the parts information. Sounds like the Chinese kits are not quite right. I've run into this with carburetors. Had to buy three kits to get the parts needed. |
