Best deal on a steering gearbox?

[atice]

So I am new to the landcrusier scene and I need to get a new power steering gearbox for my 1987 FJ60. What companies have the most complete catalogs that would offer a good price on a steering gearbox? The only one I could find wants over $1000 that sounds crazy to me!!! Thanks, Andy

Depends on how fast you need one. Search Ebay, you see them ever once in awhile for a lot less then $1000.

Good luck-

I have seen one or two on ebay but I would like to get a new one or a rebuild kit so it is right. I don't mind having to specal order as long as when the job is done it is right. Andy

Why do you need a steering box? Best bet is to get one from somebody who's parting out a cruiser. For starters, look at cruiserparts.net...used are ~$150, remand'd are ~$500. Lots cheaper than $1000...

TheSteeringStore.com has 'em for about $450 exchange IIRC. But they were out of 'em in December when I twisted the shaft on mine, so I bought one from Cruiseroutfitters. Then didn't use it 'cause a mechanic friend of mine pointed out that 45 degrees at the steering wheel is less than 5 on the shaft & there's no way of knowing whether or not a rebuilt one (or yours) has been twisted.

So my used Cruiseroutfitters one is for sale. Has a nice layer of protective Northeast rust.
