Thread: 3 Bolt vs 4 Bolt steeringbox?

Whats up with your 3 bolt? a seal kit is not much.

I have had no problems with my 3 bolt box, it hasnt used a drop of fluid in 150,000kms, but last week the nut worked its way loose. I might lose the useless tab washer and get a locknut.

I'd go with the chaper option, but look carefully at the replaement box as high km ones can have the chrome worn off the internals, reco-ed or not.

My steering box in the RRC is about the only thing that doesnt leak!!! And the drop arm seal has more cracks than than a Liberal Government promise!!!!

I've got a spare 3 bolt if you need it Tim. PM me

Well it's got 465,000 km's on it and we have run it dry for about ten km's once when we broke the steering, and there is slack in it so the the steering won't fully tighten up.

Vultures......

Just off loading some spares

In my previous county, I managed to crack the external housing on my 3 bolt doing a 3-point turn in the bush on a narrow track. Replaced it with a 4 bolt cause they were easier to source and was told by the PS place that they were stronger.
