RE: [Chrysler300] rebuild steering gear 300G

[christopher beilby <thelastbestgenius@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

One to ask those firms that really know these post '57 300 steering boxes?!
 
It may not apply with any of these 300s/cars/Members, but over here a local person had poor steering, so got his original box rebuilt, it still not as good/better, but the rebuilder saying his box was maybe not a real good core, so he bought another from US, (real expensive re freight etc) only to find it still not right. He ran into another person who said it may be your power steering pump, as if pressure from it low, your steering box will not work as should/right. So he got his pump rebuilt, and amazingly his steering was right, better than ever known/expected!!!
 
And I know of recent another, (where I think on a 300F) , rebuilt box seemingly still no good, so scrapped original and went to later US setup - SO QUESTION IS, IS IT POSSIBLE A LOW PRESSURE STEERING PUMP CAN MAKE IT SEEM STEERING BOX IS THE PROBLEM??!!
( and obviously this q oes not apply if the box leaks or has play that is not adjusted out)
 
Christopher in Australia - still chasing '63 Imperial (type) Neutral push button button as the one who was suggested went quiet right after told it for Australia and no replies to emails saying still need one

It would be nice to have a rebate... as I just send them 4 units ( 300D, 300F, 300G and 60 Dodge), did not ask for a rebate... I think it may be difficult to get one as rebuilding those units is more a labour/time involving thing...the parts they replace are probably just a few $$, seals etc...Still worth asking??
3 out my 4 units were not rebuildable, housings were rusty where the seals sits, and 2 units had bad shafts, rust problems inside too!!
Some of my units had been sitting out of the cars for a long time, so I guess that doesn't help, kinda like a brake wheel cyl problem, rust and pits inside...then seals can't do it's job when the surface has pits...
I hope you all have better luck with your steering box units, Steer and Gear had one core to replace the 300D housing that was bad, so they are very helpfull, and I did have 2 good cores here. It is a good idea to open the box and inspect the housings and shafts before sending out, I should have done that before sending bad steering boxes out... lesson learned...

I also have one from my D that I plan on having them rebuild.
Maybe we can all get together and get a 3 or 4 unit discount
