Default Re: Steering Box 7 tooth vs 2 Tooth vs F100

So the comments over the years for F100 vs 2 tooth after close to 20 years of peoples comments online.

When not moving the F100 is easier to steer. When moving you cant tell the difference.

Here like in most cases for the A there seems to be a difference from a rebuilt 2 tooth and a properly rebuilt 2 tooth. A properly rebuilt and properly lubricated 2 tooth does quite fine for most people. Once rebuilt it just lasts a long time.

Honestly, it takes some careful effort and access to special tools to properly rebuild either a bushing based or bearing based 2 tooth. BTW, there is nothing wrong with a well fitted bushing based sector. Some reputable shops only do the needle bearings.

I can not speak for 7 tooth.
