Warning: New boxes aren't cheap

My car as an example, an 84 GS, priced from Mazdatrix

STEERING BOX 84-85 MANUAL 32-1100-FA54 $512.39

this would be for a 1984-85 gsl-se, non power steering if that makes a difference.

thanks

Mine has quite a bit of play, and I'm hoping to fix that up with the trick off the mazspeed website. I think that is the site.

SOCAL junkyards but get the GSL or the one with P/S. Steers better than non-PS
