hey i have nearly completed my suspension setup on my gta.... i have replaced everything thats wearable with either spohn umi hotchkis or bmr parts... so basically my suspension is all aftermarket.... the only thing that i havent touched is the steering box.... i was wondering would it be a good idea to get a new steering box.... being that its 22 years old im pretty sure its seen better days..... which steering box do i need to get..... thanks in advance...

 

Is there a noticeable issue with it? The boxes that came in these cars were tight to begin with.. I mean.. less than 1/2 turn for a 90 degree turnoff is a good box. I understand the desire to replace everything with "aftermarket", but in many cases, the engineers DID know what they were doing. Were it me (and it will be shortly, I'm sure) I'd just go over it and make sure everything is tight and functioning right, and leave it at that. Long as it makes the wheels go right and left, and doesn't whine or howl, why mess with it?

 

I'll have to disagree... My stock box was in very good shape, but I ventured out and payed big bucks for a more precise, "tighter"box with better road feel, that is lighter in weight. It is worn in now and feels GREAT. Better than stock. Lee Performance 670 box is what I have. Fits good, no issues except notching it a bit to get it in, but that's about it. Most aftermarket boxes are crap though so be careful... The stockers were good enough IMO but if you're really crazy about suspension then yes, there is "better", but worth the cost? That is up to you... I paid around 550$ for mine..
