does anybody have any experience of quick ratio steering boxes?
from what I have read lock to lock turns are reduced but do they make steering more precise (I mean less typical landrover vague) better on road performance?

what was their original intended purpose over the standard box?

cheers

oh I did search but found nuthin

Hello mate, if your steering and suspension bits are in good fettle there should be no problem at all with on-road steering precision.

If that's what your are looking to cure, might I suggest you start by renewing suspension bushes, ball-joints and wheel & swivel bearings.

Hi Dave no that wasnt the reason really, my steering is as good as it can get except for the box, I think I may need to change it soon as its leaking so I was just exploring the possible advantages/disadvantages of a quick ratio box, If im gonna do the job anyway might as well make an improvement if there is one to be had
 
Didn't know they did quick ratio steering boxes. We learn something every day.

They are normally for rack and pinion and manual ones at that, I had one fitted once, great at speed but the the extra steering effort required in town was not for me so I reverted back to the existing standard rack. :)
