Me again,

So I guess I am putting this out there because the few threads that exist on this topic either die out or nothing comes from it. So here are some questions:

1). The 140 steering box by nature seems loose, replacements are hard to find and from what I have heard rebuilding them does nothing so what exists out there that would work in place of a 140 box? A box that would provide for a better steering ratio, tighter steering and better availability? I have heard that the 2002tii has a similar box but looks as though it's just rumor.

2). The EZ steering option for those that have money to spend on such a thing. I have heard great things from owners that installed one and especially from those that have wider tires. Supposedly it assist with slower steering issues but allows for the natural steering feel of the 140 at speed. One of the "questions" regarding using this unit was whether that would cause the steering box to wear faster. That goes back to question 1....

3). Apart from going with a custom front end what are those of you that have a 140 doing apart from throwing used boxes on these units? Or are we to the point where we just accept the steering for what it is?

I guess I'd just like to see a discussion regarding this that doesn't end in someone sending another person a lesser word out and used 140 box in an attempt to help tighten their steering and/or improve handling.

Last thought.. Other particular groups have exhaustive literature on tire/wheel sizes, backspacing options, handling improvements, comparable parts, etc.. and while I see things that might pertain to 200 series but much less on the 140 series..

Anyways, just thinking out loud I guess. I'm willing to tackle this myself if I have to.. :)

Cheers, Brandon
