Dart steering box
Dart steering box
Now all, this might seem like a daft question but are steering boxes interchangeable between lhd and rhd cars? I suspect not but am happy to ask the stupidest question if the week ( it’s only Monday)....

Re: Dart steering box
The RH and LH steering boxes have different part numbers. The box is asymmetric whereas rest of the steering parts are not and carry the same part numbers for RH and LH drive cars. I assume therefore that the steering boxes are handed.

The Dart box is a TR3 LHD box mounted upside down for RHD cars, vice versa for LHD Darts

Re: Dart steering box
Thanks all. My box on my lhd car is knackered. Have asked manners to see if they can supply a rebuild kit but they don’t have any on the shelf. ETA end of jan 2020.
Am pretty sure I had a spare but I suspect it’s at the back of the garage!
