I broke my own rules and got froggy with my tow rig over thanksgiving and came home with a lot of slop in the steering gear. I priced out a Borgson box and shaft @ $1300ish. I plan on keeping the truck forever but am still a tightwad. Help me spend my money and effort wisely.
I have a spare box off a wrecked truck to put on there but then the parts truck is a bummer to move.
weighing my options for hydro assist while dicking with this.
What lets go in the box that its loose but doesn't leak?
Can I tighten the preload and keep on going or is it fucked?
Is a borgson box and hydro assist a waste of money and effort? I hear they are much easier to turn over the factory box. I also recently read they aren't lasting as long as the originals.
I plan on one day adding the hydro-boost off the younger parts truck. I know that's added complication (Vanco porting) for hydro assist.
Truck is on 37"s. Tow rig and Mexico adventure rig. Not built to beat on trails but need to get through fucked up roads when there isn't another option.
