Default blue top steering gears?

Anyone heard of these guys? KInda reminds me of the redhead branding. I was searching for a different problem, and happened into a youtube video of someone replacing their steering gear with one from these guys. Price is compelling, if its the quality they say.

The redheads are actually cheaper..... by 15 to 20 bucks. Firefox gave me a 'questionable site' warning on the bluetop site...... Which struck me as kinda odd. Until this thread, I had never heard of them.

HeyYou, not sure how you were reading it... but the bluetop is way cheaper. Redhead is 366 plus $225 core, plus unknown shipping.. Bluetops are $235 plus core of $155, $22 usps shipping. They seem to be upgrading bearings in the lower shaft. Not advocating, just figured I'd throw it out there.

found a discussion on a ford site...

They are showing the cost plus core. Further down the page they break it down.

I can't access the site either, Chrome won't let me.

I've read of them and seen them around. Just a knock off Redhead if you ask me.

Just get the Redhead and don't be a tight wad like me. Just do it. Yes, I had a bad one but Redhead was good to me and replaced it no questions. Just beware, they are tight. Be ready for little to no return but you'll also have no play or wander.
