67 Mustang Restoration Steering Box Disassembly

[@michaelteel8490]

Thank you so much. Doing my first rebuild on my 68 mustang and I wanted to do this too! Thanks for the confidence boost!

[@MustangResto]

Thanks for your nice words and good luck with the 68. I haven't posted videos in a while, but my car is coming along.

Excellent demo.

[@MendezInc]

Great video, thank you . . . You've given me confidence to try it myself. Thank You.

[@MustangResto]

You can do it! The key is taking your time and paying attention to all of the pieces.

[@chrblabla]

Thank you for the detailed explanations. It helped a lot!

Great video but here is an interesting question. I have an early 67 convertible but here’s the weird part. Everything I can find says the long shaft boxes have a 1” sector shaft but mine has a 1 1/8”. It’s the 16:1 ratio box for power steering. Anyone have any insight into what is going on there.

[@MustangResto]

Go to this website: www.stangerssite.com/. This place has great information about steering boxes used in these cars. Chances are you have a different one than mine or maybe it was replaced in the past with a compatible one.

great video. Do you have the link for the bearing kit?? can't find it

[@MustangResto]

Tiffany, you need to figure out if you have a 1inch or 1-1/8 inch diameter sector shaft steering box. Once you know that, then you can order the correct bearing set. I got mine from National Parts Depot, part number 3548-1k, or 3548-2k depending on the sector shaft diameter.

That's not even remotely loose. My steering shaft would turn about 15 degrees before the pitman arm would move. Driving was exhausting trying to keep the car in it's lane.

[@MustangResto]

I think you need a rebuild.

how do i find the second part

[@whitneymcnulty]

Go to my channel and search for steering box rebuild part 2.

[@michaelgreco9935]

Are you supposed to hear a little gear noise when I manually turn gear box by hand? No play in it at all.

[@MustangResto]

You might want to consider replacing the grease in your gear box. It's hard to judge how much noise is ok.

[@donziperk]

You will hear a bit if it is dry. If the input shaft bearings are round and not pitted and the reciprocating balls are good and the shaft worm is good it’s fine. If they aren’t it will be rough and noisy

[@chevroletbelair1]

can you give me the parts numbers? i'm from Belgium

[@whitneymcnulty]

The rebuild kit was from National Parts Depot, part number 3548-1K. From their website: REBUILD KIT, Steering Gear Box, for use with 1 sector shaft, (7), Kits include 3738 seal, 3552 bearings, 3576 bushings, 3581 gasket, and 3591 seal,

[@SOLDOZER]

You need some basic tools.
