The PSC SG851 XD Steering Gear Box will enhance the stability and steering feel of your 1994-2002 Dodge 2500/3500 (4WD). You may have noticed that the steering performance on your 2nd Generation truck is very poor, the result of the use of a small 36mm lower sector shaft support bearing and less-than-ideal placement in the housing. This original design has proven to be insufficient to handle moderate lateral stress loads encountered during daily on-the-road driving, much less in advanced off-road environments.
PSC has addressed these issues with the newly redesigned SG851 Big Bore Steering Gear. The SG851 all but eliminates side-to-side movement of the sector shaft by using a substantially larger lower sector shaft support bearing and increasing the diameter of the sector shaft to 45mm. Improved load-pushing capability is accomplished by an 80mm internal piston assembly and a 16:1 steering ratio delivers exceptional handling and effortless maneuvering.
By replacing the factory 32mm sector shaft and bearing with a 45mm version, this gear box stops side deflection thereby eliminating the need for an aftermarket steering brace. This steering box is manufactured with a 16: 1 steering ratio that results in 3.25 turns lock to lock for easy maneuvering. The factory 32-spline pitman arm is retained and the stock pressure and return lines for a straightforward install. All necessary mounting spacers and hardware is included.
