reconditionig the steering box
 

im thinking of reconditioning my 16v steering box, anybody knows how this works, is there a kit, id like to get the parts and take them to the dealer they dont have it in stock, is the dealer qualified to recondition it?

id appreciate any info

Do it all the time. Not a job for a rookie but it's not too much to it.

when the dealer reconditions it, does the adjusting screw reset, because my box is totally worn, i got a little play and the dealer tried to adjust it , but said theres no more to it i need to rebuild it but they dont have the parts , i need to know what to get to take it to themP?? its a 85 16v, any advice , info is appreciated

thanx

In my opinion if it's not resealable and that's the only reason I repair them you should look for a replacement gearbox.

impossible, theres only 17 16v in the country so the chances are remote, and sourcing one in the U.S.A is almost impossible

i guess ill just have to rebuild it , i still have a couple of thousand miles of use.
