If you want a box that actually works correctly, get one of these. More money but worth it, trust me on this. http://www.redheadsteeringgears.com/

I have emailed them to get a price, havent heard back from them yet. DO i have to send them my old one to rebuild or do they already have rebuilt ones? Also when replacing this, is there anything I should know? I have never put one on before. As of right now my steering wheel is off center to the right, alignment is good, can I turn my wheel to make it straight when installing the unit?

You'll have to pay a core charge and will get the money back when they get it back. You are looking at about $298 for the unit itself.

Put the new box in first, all the connections like (intermediate shaft and pitman arm only go on one way). If the wheel is not straight after those parts are re- installed, the adjusting sleeve on the drag link is what needs adjust.
