Rebuilding steering components is where our business started 30 years ago, and it’s something we still take pride in today. All steering gearboxes and rack & pinion assemblies receive new seals, bearings (if applicable), a thorough cleaning and inspection, and any port threads for the power steering lines are inspected and chased to ensure a reliable seal. Internal shafts & gears are inspected, cleaned, and either machined or replaced as needed.  All our steering components are guaranteed to fit and function just like OEM, backed by an unbeatable three year, unlimited mileage warranty. Beware of suspiciously cheap sellers who just clean the item and ship it back out; don’t cut corners with your safety! This is only tested and verified to fit models that had manual steering from the factory; we cannot guarantee compatibility as a retrofit for models that originally had power steering. Fits certain Ford and Mercury vehicles with gearbox casting tag SMA-B or HCA-AW, including 1964-70 Fairlane, 1966-77 Comet, 1970-71 Montego, 1975 Monarch, 1970-77 Maverick, 1968-71 Torino and 1968-70 Falcon & Ranchero. 16:1 steering ratio, 4.5 turns lock-to-lock, with a short input shaft and casting tag HCA-AW or SMA-B
