Got a little bit of money to spend on the Stang and was thinking about redoing my power steering componets. I think I will have the steering box, power cylinder, and the control valve rebuilt. Last year about this time I replaced the upper and lower control arms, all ball joints, tie rod ends, shocks springs, and a new 1" sway bar. I just want to get it a little safer. I actually have not gotten to drive it since all the front end rebuild because I got the wrong springs and it sits too low, but I am going to replace them, and my sway bar that I ordered is for a big block, so it sits way to close to the ground with the springs being so low, so thats also an issue. I guess my question is, if I rebuild the power steering componets, will it make a huge difference? as of right now I have about 2"-3" of play each way in my steering. Also what else might you guys recommend? Thanks in advance...

haha...I have it booked marked already...I got a question for ya...how does the return shipping work? I know I have to pay it but how does that factor in?
do you send me a bill or something once the rebuild is complete?

You pay shipping both ways.

He's the one who rebuilt my stuff (Steering box, control valve, and cylinder).

Asside from it taking longer that I was told (apparently problems with that ice storm a few years ago, and family) I was very happy. Everything came back looking like new, worked great, good communication, etc.

I'd certainly reccomend him, especially if the downtime isn't a problem.

Once the parts are finished, I have it packaged and weighed, and know what the return shipping will be, I will contact you for payment info and then ship it to you.
