    Where to rebuild or buy new steering box

    Hi all,

    There's a lot of play in my steering box (and it's not the other steering components) and it's time I fix it.

    A thread from 2010 mentioned All4x4spares can supply adwest boxes so I've tried emailling them but havent' heard anything back
    Where else can supply a box or does anyone have any tips on where to get it rebuilt? If that's even a good option?

    Cheers,
    Niels

    Thanks, they have Adwest listed at $3300 and it's out of stock so hoping they get back to me and that it's a bit cheaper!

    I bought a new one in March this year and paid $2145 including GST from British Auto Parts also an Adwest box, was a much better deal than All 4.

    I think KLR Automotive have new Adwest boxes but I don’t know if they are reserved for their power steering conversion of Perenties.

    Their website shows reconditioned boxes at $1250.

    Over the last 10 years or less, it looks like brand new boxes have gone from $800 to $1500 to close to $3k!!! Wtf.

    Exactly why I made this thread because there is massive variance in the price for this part.

    Thanks for all the suggestions, I'm going with a rebuilt exchange from TR Spares in Sydney for $650 ready tomorrow which comes without a pitman arm allowing me to easily convert to the discovery style arm and replaceable balljoint. Looking forward to less sloppy steering!
