The time is growing near to replace my steering box. It is sloppy, especially to the left. The front end/steering linkages are tight - the slop is in the box. I have tried loosening the adjustment screw and I am at the limit. I have maybe 1.5-1.75" of play at speed on the highway that I really don't like. Its the last outstanding project on my restoration...

How have results been with reman boxes? I have seen a pictorial on DIY resealing of a W123 P/S box, but I am concerned my gears are worn internally beyond a reseal. I want to do this project once, not twice :-)
