    I bought a RedHead steering box for my 1995 Bronco. It was $260 free shipping, including the 10% discount. I received it, it looked great. I put it on- WHAT A PIECE OF C*** It has at least 45 degrees of play in the steering, the steering wheel at 9 oclock and 3 oclock straight across, it contantly going to 8 oclock and 2 oclock. It's all over the road. It's not even as good as the rebuilt Advance Auto steering box I bought 4 years ago for half the price. I'm surely not sending them that one as a core, I'll get a refund first. I called RedHead spoke to 2 ****, both rambled on about torque spec of the ****** arm. The first guy actually said he has other customers to take care of, after 25 minutes, well I spent $260 for the box, and $175 for the core. I'm out $435 plus tax and I have to send it back. When I asked who rebuilt the box, they answered the guys in the back. The **** on the phone have a line about ****** arms torque spec. Well the ****** arm is on there good, if I torqued it any more, it would strip the threads. It's a pressed tapered stud. The problem is there is a ton of play in it. It acts like a worn out streering box. I've been a mechanic 40 years and this steering box acts is almost as bad as the original one we took off the truck that was 15 years old. It appears that RedHead employees are just painting steering boxes and reselling them, and seeing how much money they can make, and who calls back.
