Very Worn Steerin Box

The steering box on my '31 is very worn.  There is so much play that the car is practically undrivable.  The adjustment screw won't turn.  I'm curious, given the amount of free play in my current steering box, would it be better to try to find a completely different box or to try to repair my current one, given that new worm gears are not available.

I would start with taking yours apart to see what is actually bad, my be able to be fixed.

The Filling Station (ad top of the page) sells rebuild kits and parts. I think they used to offer rebuild services but don't see that on their web site. You might give them a call. If they no longer offer a rebuild service they can probably direct you to a competent shop that can do it.

I have one but it is used and hard to determine how worn it is. Where are you located?
