Default Any way I can tell if steering box

is good if its off the car? I have a spare one that came with the car - it looks ok and want to fit it if its good - it's the correct one for my 70 Mach 1, but I'd like to know if it needs a rebuild before I fit it (won't be for about 4 months)

Thanks

Default RE: Any way I can tell if steering box

when you turn the input shaft does the sector shaft turn?

does it turn smooth? or is there any grinding

and finally, does it have a lot of play in it?

i would go ahead and rebuild it, its not hard
