Power steering boxes

--- Quote from: "muddyweb" ---The 3 bolt boxes use different fittings to the 4 and 6 bolt boxes AFAIK.   The 3 bolts are imperial and the 4/6 are metric.  You can probably change them over if you change the pipes too, but that's a bigger job.

That must have been why they were ok, had all the parts off the donor vehicle

Thanks everyone. Can always rely on excellent replies here. I'll keep my eyes peeled for a 3 bolt one to make life as easy as possible.

The problem is the spline is worn on both shaft and arm, so the nut keeps working loose. I doubt any company would accept a worn shaft spline on an exchange unit so I'd end up having to pay the surcharge too..... ouch!
