quick ratio steering box

Looking for a quick ratio steering box. If you are not sure if yours is a quick ratio, look for the raised "Z" stamped on the side. I don't want one that has any slop, noisy, or leaks.Please let me know what you have.

If you are not sure if yours is a quick ratio, look for the raised "Z" stamped on the side.
False: The "Z" on the side of the box means NOTHING. If that's what you figure out that a steering box is a quick ratio - be prepared to be disappointed once it gets delivered.

Re: quick ratio steering box

Install vise grips on the shaft and turn,.... 2 1/4 turns = Fast ratio.
