Thankfully, we're not celebrities, but one of our junkyard power-steering pumps recently suffered from leak issues and cried out for rehab, so maybe we're more tragically hip than we thought.

And since power steering boxes—no matter which make of automobile—always have a faster steering ratio than its manual counterpart, it’s quicker and easier to correct a car skidding sideways.

Steering boxes are available separately or in a complete kit that provide the pump, pump bracket, power steering pulley, universal joint, intermediate shaft, and hoses.
