New cheap ebay steering box

Yeah, the parts that fail are usually on the outside, and flaws aren't typically hidden by a thick layer of chrome plating. Go for it.



He's going to visually inspect it, you're good. He can tell if the metal surface hardness is up to spec, if there are any flaws in the in the castings or forgings (forgings? China? Yeah, probably). Ductility? Fracture Toughness? Fatigue strength? Crystalline structure? Alloy composition? Lubricant suitability?

No sweat. He'll look it over for thirty seconds, maybe even a minute before he slaps it in. It'll be fine. If it fails, he'll just pull over.

Besides, it's got a warranty!

Right?
im sure you do all of this to the 50 year old worn out parts you slap on your car right? people like you are whats wrong with this forum... discouraging people from checking out new products and reporting back to the mopar community to help them know if aftermarket parts are worth their time or money, how dare i take something apart and see if i can make it better, right? way to try to discourage a fellow hot rodder from actually hotrodding instead of spending 600 dollars on a 16 to1 factory box... or 3k + on a coil over front end kit and just bolting it on like any 10 year old could do. i went out of my way to take my stock box out which aint an easy task and spent $160 on something i didnt actually need to try and check it out for the community to maybe give back a little for all the free information ive gotten off here but apparently its frowned upon to try something new, thats hotrodding right? ive been on the fence about this forum and all the keyboard warriors and ive had enough, im not here to win damn arguments to feel good about myself, i just thought id let some people know if this box is any good or not tell you what why dont you spend some money and run 10K in tests to see if a steel casting is worth a ****? your turn to help everybody out, but dont worry you'll just say its junk cause its made in china, how clever
