I'm getting ready to do a steering box swap and was wondering what you guys use for oil. Thanks for any and all answers. Jay
Jay, when I swapped my box out I used that Lucas oil stabilizer, Mark
I fill all of mine with STP , slippery as hell and it stays in there. If it was a new box I would probably use whatever the manufacturer called for
Guys
Thanks for the suggestions on the steering box oil.
Jay
Jay,
What manual steering box are you swapping to ? Are you going to a later model one? I have to do something with mine in the future.They want $490.for a reman 58-62 full size Ford, and if I don't have a 58-62 core, it's an extra $175.
I'm using a 57 steering box. If I was smart, I would have saved all the 58 boxes that I had when I started my 57 project 15+ years ago. Jay

The ''ignorance of youth'' does come back to bite us hard every so often. I know from experience.

Long before I joined this site, I was mostly into 58 Fords and had a back yard full of them. It was after I got rid of them, that I joined 57 Fordforever
This is where I learned about the recirculating bearing 58 steering gear boxes. At the moment I'm freshening up a 57 box that is better than the one that is in my car. Jay
