Steering Box & Components

Steering Box & Components (1932–1979 Ford Cars & Trucks)

Steering precision in 1932–1979 Ford passenger cars and light trucks begins inside the steering box assembly, where the worm gear, sector shaft, bearings, and seals translate steering wheel input into controlled linkage movement. This category covers service parts such as ford reproduction Pitman Arm options, Steering Shaft Worm Gear components, sector shafts, worm bearings and races, classic ford Steering Box Gasket Set selections, rebuild kits, seals, thrust washers, and related internal hardware.

The steering box converts rotary motion into linear movement through the worm and sector interface, maintaining proper steering geometry and response. Bearings and races support rotational load, while gaskets and seals control lubricant retention. Fitment may vary by model year, steering box design, column configuration, and vehicle application. Differences in worm length, sector shaft style, and pitman arm orientation are common between early and later systems. Wear in bushings, bearings, or the sector shaft can introduce steering play, inconsistent alignment, and uneven tire wear. Correct component selection restores factory-correct steering feel and maintains intended linkage movement.

Since 1978, C&G Ford Parts has remained a second-generation, family-run business focused exclusively on classic Ford restoration parts. Experienced staff are available to help confirm correct fitment when details matter.
