Hi all,

The sister in law's vitara has just been failed a WoF for a leaky steering box. Anyone tell me what a replacement or an overhaul is worth?

She has been given quotes from 200 - 600 bucks so far. She is in Mangere Bridge so somewhere close by if repairable would be nice.


Cheers,

Heath

I was quoted $500. Because thay needed to take it apart to replace th input shaft because the seel was leeking. Whot i did is replaced the seel with a new one $4.50.
Because the shaft is all eaady got a worn grove in it you can get away with a smaller seel.i think its a 18mm inside. you cant buy the 18.7 original seel from the local bearing shop, but the 18mm works fine (Dont quote me on the size) and i pased my wof, but the man wasent pleased about there being old oil around the area.
i took my box out ( the bottom , not easy) but now i know you can do it in place.
$4.50 or $500.00 same result.
