Manual steering rebuild kit
 

Need help locating a rebuild kit for a manual steering box for 70's era Chevelle as my source has dried up. Does anyone out there know of a good place to buy rebuild kits for these? Thanks,
Rick

No one has bought any of these kits?

The last kit I bought was ~8 years ago for my '65 Nova and I got it through the NNN nova club. Not sure where they sourced it from.

Are the Chevelle boxes any different than other Saginaw manual boxes from the era? Would this work?

That's pretty much what my Chevy II kit looked like, but mine included balls and other parts more like this one:

I don't know it there were different size sector shafts, etc. or if all manual Saginaw boxes are the same?

Keep in mind AMC/Jeep was using Sag' boxes through the glory years too so AMC kits if available may be under the radar from the some of the GM crowd...for a while?
Looking up the application in a Hollander Exchange manual would show what boxes interchange but not necessarily enough info to know correct rebuild parts so may take extra homework?
Good luck!

Corvettes I believe are different and the full size kit I see is also different. Eric, I will call you back when I get a moment. Thanks for the help so far guys. Heartbeat offers the rebuild kit but they are out of some of the components needed to make up the kit and says it could be quite some time.

I looked through RockAuto and they didnt show any rebuild kits but did list seals

For the zillions of Saginaw boxes they manufactured over the years, you wouldn't think rebuild kits would be so hard to come by. I guess nobody works on their cars anymore? Personally I thought rebuilding my steering gear was a fun project. I had a friend machine up some custom busing drivers for me, and the rest was pretty simple. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

Rick, It may be a PITA but most seals and bearings have a manufacturer's part number on them. You might be able to track down the pieces individually.
