Best company for steering gear rebuild?

[LongrangeLauber]

Was wondering what brand of steering gear anyone has installed and if it was a significant improvement and returned the steering to normal? I installed a Duralast (AutoZone branded) reman gear about two years ago and it has felt the same as the original gear that was installed in the factory.

 

I know there are other companies that rebuild them out there, and was wondering if I should just put out the money for a ACDelco reman gear so I don't have to deal with this again. I know running 35's doesn't help, but it shouldn't be so loose that I always have to correct it constantly. Its a little dangerous while towing too. Especially since next summer I'll be towing about 200 miles one way almost every other weekend

 

Thanks

you should really have it looked at instead of assuming its failed like you did once already ..

 

remember ,,,,big truck,big tires ,big pain in the butt !!!

Honestly for what shops around here would charge me to look at it and determine what's wrong with it I could install it for about the same price.

 

I also have replaced every steering part about 20k miles ago so it is all pretty fresh components

sorry but i think youre chasing a ghost ,you said it yourself that 35s dont help ,,,,,its the modified truck ,,,,not the componants

I also had 31's and 33's on this steering gear and it was still sloppy steering. I know 35's won't help but it shouldn't be that loose from the git go
