Steering gear issues

While getting the Lifeliner ready to go to the fair the steering gear case split. So, where does one get one of these?

if you can wait I may be able to find you a used one. I'm guessing around 150for a power sector. they are heavy things to mail so look at home first.
 
As Paul suggested I talked with my local NAPA Auto parts people and they can get me one for $139 plus shipping. They did not mention a core charge but expecting it. I stopped by and chatted with a new mechanic I'm going to try out, and he says they are a piece of cake to change out.
Terri is willing to front me the money for it, nice wife I have there. :thumbsup:
Thanks for your help.

So which one will work for my Lifeliner?
 
Ok PCS people, just ordered one from Car Parts Wholesale on-line and got it for only $89.85, plus $8.50 shipping (core deposit of $61.00 which they say I will get back even though mine is split).
Not bad but have no idea how much the mechanic will cost me.
Thanks Paul for your guidence, helpful and knowledgable as ususal. :thumbsup:
 
steering gears and..

Richard,
Glad to hear all is getting fixed in the short term. Now about the nice wife. Is she availible to give lessons to other wives? Maybe she could do a short seminar at one of the meets soon. I like that idea of her paying for the parts for your toys.
Hope the mail order part is the right one.
Good luck,
Mike
