While a driveshaft used to be a very simple item connecting the transmission to the rear axle, vehicle developments such as front-wheel drive. One has four mounting bolts, and one has three. Oddly enough, it’s the 3-hole box that’s stronger, so that’s what we carry. If your car is originally equipped with a 4-mount-hole gear box, this 3-hole variant will still bolt in exactly the same as OEM.

This gearbox is an OEM Saginaw casting, fully remanufactured in the USA. All our remanufactured steering gearboxes and racks receive a thorough cleaning and inspection, brand new bearings and seals, the port threads for the power steering lines are chased to ensure a reliable seal, and any potentially damaged gears are either re-machined or replaced. This gearbox will fit and perform exactly the same as OEM, including a steering ratio between 3 and 3-1/4 turns lock-to-lock.

This is another rebuilt OEM box, but it has a faster steering ratio of 2.75 turns lock-to-lock, vs 3.25 turns for the stock gearbox. This provides quicker steering response and better handling.
This gearbox does fit a lot of cars, but individual steering linkage pieces like rag joints, pitman arms and tie rods will likely be vehicle-specific. Make sure you enter your correct vehicle details on our site to get matched up with the correct steering components.
