Steering Box

Am I right that the general feeling that the re-con boxes are a bit of a waste of time and new is the best trouble free way to go? They seem to be very expensive! There seem to be a lot of places offering the re-cons.

I've got an ad west recon box and had no issues so far, still got another 7 months warranty left on it too. I think the concensus I got was the repair kits can be hit and miss, as can quite often be more than seal which is gone....but not sure. I'm sure someone will confirm/correct me.

Is it hard to go through and replace all the seals on the steering box??

repair kits arent hit or miss ,condition of shaft were seal runs is ,its not too bad but you need instruction to rebuild and reset ,i build quite a few if you want any help

I recently tried replacing the seal on a friends 90, and it was a major failure so I got a recon box from cws and it's been great
