Took about 5 weeks to ship, its covid time, may expect this. Everything else was perfect. Instructions were clear. Little colored cards with important stuff to do. Output shaft tight, no play. I chose the added bearing upgrade. The granny steer is gone, with higher effort torsion bar installed, perfect for me. I installed an inline filter on return line as a safeguard. Bolted right up, done in about 2 hours. I pondered on the expense of doing this, but, it was money well spent. Makes this old square body steer better than new.
