The old steering box was old and stiff, plus steering wheel play. New Flaming River box is easier to driveācan make it around a corner with 30% less spinning of the wheel. Turns easier when parking (still a b!tch).
I'm all for replacing this box with a better one if mine turns out to be a lemon. Flaming River makes nice stuff but I'm not fond of the 16:1 ratio on their $750 box.
