      Corvair owner with huge 80 degrees of steering wheel play - column though does wobble! Already this has been helpful (lost half a turn when I loosened the jam nut - so, great catch by you in that prior video!)

    G'day from Oz Matty.. Awesome video mate.. I read some of the comments. i'm not sure if anyone has pass this info on. Just wanted to share a little trick with the Ball bearings in the Piston housing. If you remove your Rotary valve (by turning Anti-clockwise) from the Unit keeping the steering box Horizontal you can slide the Piston out with the balls inside. When you pull the piston out have a container underneath to catch any stray ones (They usually stay inside the piston). And when reinstalling use a little grease to hold the balls in place in the guide tube and then pack the piston from one hole only starting with the next color inline to match the way you packed the tube (again with a little grease to help hold them in place). When reinstalling the Piston into the housing have the end plug removed so you can see the magic take place.. Allow the worm gear to pull the piston in and hey presto.. It's a bit easier and allows you more room to play around. Hope that help others when doing the install.. All the best for New Year everyone.. =)

    I am familiar with rebuilding various types of steering boxes and have done so in the past. I have also seen various videos and tutorials on Sag box rebuilds, but I must say that this one is really clear and informative for the average person. The explanations are clear and the video itself is as well. I am sure that it will convince many people that they can undertake this project with basic hand tools, confidence and patience. Great job : < )

    Very clear tear down, seal replacement. I wish that you would have touched on steering wheel play, and shaft play.(the bearing you did not take out) I was hoping you where going to talk through it.But you passed on. Which these are my box symptoms. I have very few that leaked. But all have had some degree of play at the steering wheel. And a '72 corvette that had extreme shaft play. You make great videos.

    Just finished the steering box (Delphi) rebuild on my 2004 Silverado 2500 HD 4x4, and I couldn't have done it without Matt's help (and your channel, too)!! The ball bearings were the toughest part, and I watched, then paused, then watched, and paused the video 20 times, to get it right!
    Thank you both for posting this video!!

    Do you know why my steering would be harder to turn to the left than the right.
    All of my other steering components are in good shape.
    I have an input leak on the input shaft seal so i have to take it apart anyway.
    Just wondering which internal part would go bad and make it harder to turn one way than the other. The pump makes noise going left also.
    any help would be much appreciated.

    the only thing we didnt take apart was the top cap assembly which you can see at 2:30. As mentioned if you take that apart it will be hell getting it adjusted right again. Other than that we didnt skip anything.

  • @DonutGuard
    @DonutGuard 11 лет назад

    I'm rebuilding a gear box that looks just like that one out of a '95 Chevrolet Caprice Police Package 9C1. The rebuild kit I got from Omega didn't have the right seals (particularly the Pitman shaft seal) so I couldn't use it. What rebuild kit did you use for your gearbox? It looks so similar I'm willing to bet it'll use the same exact kit.
    Casting number on my box is 26000525. 2.5:1 Steering ratio.

  • @georgeadolf666

There's no play in the saginaw box. I've adjusted the box both directions with no improvement. Does this sound like a bad steering box, or could it be the pump having issues? I bought a rebuilt box, and I'm thinking it may be no good. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  • @MadMaxMovie
    @MadMaxMovie 11 лет назад

    Great video and information. Question - I want to have decently fast lock-to-lock steering with my ram-assist, and to do that I'd like to increase the 'flow' (GPM) throughput on my gearbox, and I'm wondering if you have considered ways to do that? Can orifice(s) be enlarged to enable more GPM? I would think it could be done if certain orifices are opened up. Pressure sould pretty much be the same(?), but how would one go about enabling more flow through the gearbox so the lock-to-lock speed isn't diminished? I'm using a pump that does 7 gpm and 2000 psi.
