GSL SE Steering

While over hauling my son's car I dropped the Bearing from the steering box. Manual steering box.

A Koyo ACS0304, no stock at the dealer's and Koyo has no listing.

Does anyone have a line on a bearing supplier? Better yet anyone have a power steering box for sale?

Thanks.

i got my stock steering "pump" from my 84GSL-SE just sitting in my car. i disconnected it like as soon as i got the car... think it was leaking or something.... i just prefer the manual steering system... but im sure i can remove it entirely and throw it in a box if u wanna buy it. problem is shipping from hawaii will be a pain in the a$$

I pulled my P/S system out in favor of the steering rack, but I'd rather get rid of the whole system as one, with the steering column, pump and all the other junk. Granted the pipes are leaky (not that you'd use them) and the steering gear has a fair amount of play. Probably not what you'd want.

Thanks for the replies

I found a power steering box in Georgia with a pump as well.

Having is shipped up in the next day or two. The car is on my hoist and has been for 5 weeks. Started a bushing change and found the pick points rusted. Hit it with my big sandblaster and blew holes into the passanger compartment. Found more holes in the floor. On the put back phase now, will post pictures latter.

Thanks again for the offers, a better one came along.
