We have a 64 Falcon with factory V8 ( 260) & power steering and there is no more adjustment in the steering box. You can turn the steering wheel almost a full half turn and the front wheels don't even move ! Does anyone know if there are replacement steering boxes for this type of car?
or maybe repro boxes ? Is there any other Ford steering box that would work on this type of car?
This car is very hard to drive and unsafe really with all the "play" in the steering.

thanks

You can go to a Borgsen integral PS box, but that will require some mods to your column. You can also have yours rebuilt by Stagersite.com.

It's most likely the control valve...not the steering box. When you adjusted the steering box...I hope you turned the worm bearing preload (the large adjusting nut which is threaded into the housing) and not just the sector shaft mesh load adjusting screw located in the housing cover. Both adjustments need to be made together or you mess up the box

We replaced the stock box with a Flaming River unit. Much better!

Autokrafters also sell rebuilt boxes.
Adjusting the box installed in the car is a crapshoot. You need to measure how much bearing pre-load is on it before you can adjust the mesh correctly.
Although I bought some parts from Stangersite recently without a problem. Ive heard that he can take a loooong time to rebuild a box.

Dan at Chockostang provides a great service.
