Location: Houston | Steer and Gear can do it too but Firm Feel is better to deal with IMO. True Mopar guys. |

Location: McComb, Mississippi | Sorry to hijack this thread, but did anyone upgrade the "feel" of their box when it was rebuilt? If so, what level of firmness did you go with? |

Location: Houston | I went with stock feel because I dislike the 'firm' feel of modern cars....I like how I can toss around a big car with one finger. |

I agree. I drove a friend's car with a firm feel rebuild from steer and gear. I thought it just increased steering effort, didn't improve the way the car handled. I wouldn't hesitate to send a box to them for rebuild but I would specify stock feel. That light steering is part of the character of these cars. |

| I sent my box to Steer and Gear and $425 and two weeks later they sent me back a box that leaked. Funny, it didn't leak when I sent it to them.
You'd think for that kind of coin they could pressure test it before they send it back.
