    Steer & Gear vs FFI Power Steering Box
    « on: June 16, 2013 - 08:17:56 AM »
    I have a stock 73 rebuilt power steering box in my 70 'cuda. And it just not cutting it. Way to much slack in the steering wheel. A specially on highway driving. So my question is. Witch is better Steer & Gear or FFI Power Steering Box. And why?

    My 'cuda suspension

    Front:
    73-74 OEM rebuilt power steering gear box
    OEM Hemi Torsion bars 0.920" diameter
    FFI heavy duty 11/16" tie rod kit
    Hotchkis Sport Suspension A-arms
    OEM Sway bar
    OEM Lower control arm
    OEM Lower Control Arm Pivot Pins
    Energy Suspension red polyurethane lower contral arm brushings
    Hotchkis Sport Suspension Strut rods
    KYB Gas-a-Just shocks

    Rear:
    KYB Gas-a-Just shocks
    OEM Leaf springs (5 leafs)
    Energy Suspension red polyurethane bushings in the leaf springs and shackles
    OEM Pinion snubber

    I've heard good things about FFI but I personally don't have either of those. Although after replacing mine with a stock rebuilt one I am definitely thinking of getting a better one later on.

    I have S&G.... but the only reason is they were geographically closer, so it was a faster turn around. Have never had any issues with mine (level 3)

    Is it little to none slack in the steering wheel when driving fast?

    None at all. Starts to 'float' a little when you go tooo fast.  :bigshades:

    I have a  FF stage 3 box and am very happy with it!  Zero slop!  At speeds above 120 the front ends do start to float but that is aero not the steering box.
