I have never done anything to my steering box, is yours actually leaking? I will be putting a rebuilt steering box into my brother's car but only reason for that versus rebuilding it myself is he got it for $100 and it was bought by the guy he got it from through MBUSA (guy worked in parts department, owned a 6.9).

If I were to break up the jobs, I would probably do front end then rear end. You may not have thought about it but this would be a good time to do the parking brake shoes, or at least adjust them. This would be done after putting the subframe back on the car.
