Re: ‘87 Chevy V20 - “Heavy Duty Stock” My Daily Build
Red Head Steering Gear upgrade!
So this was the final piece that ended the leaky steering system - early this summer, I had replaced the pump itself. I knew it was time to replace the gear itself along with the pressure and return hoses. After reading some very informative, negative info about Napa’s “refurbished” gears, I decided that I wanted to do this job once with the correct part. Enter RedHead - they build all their boxes starting with OEM cores, and then use the best seals and even go through the process of matching the recirculating balls to eliminate any slop.
The installation was not only a success because of everything being sealed and neat, but the added bonus of a tight steering action is wonderful! The cheapest route but wouldn’t go any other way!
