I'M RESTO-MODDING A 1968 CAMARO. I HAD A SHOP REPLACE THE ORIGINAL POWER STEERING BOX (RECIRCULATING BALL STEERING GEAR) WITH A NEW ONE FROM CLASSIC PERFORMANCE PRODUCTS (CPP). THEIR WEB SITE WOULD LEAD YOU TO BELIEVE THEY MAKE EVERYTHING LOCALLY BUT THEY FINALLY ADMITTED THEIR 400 SERIES STEERING BOXES ARE MANUFACTURED OVERSEAS. I HAD A CERTIFIED MECHANIC DO ALL THE WORK AND HE HAD A LOT OF TROUBLE WITH THE INSTALLATION. FROM DAY ONE, THE BOX DID NOT PERFORM TO ANYONE'S EXPECTATIONS. AT IDLE, IT PROVIDED NO POWER ASSIST AT ALL. EVENTUALLY IT BEGAN TO STICK WHEN TURNING A CORNER AND FINALLY IT FAILED ALL TOGETHER RENDERING THE CAR INOPERABLE. WHEN IT FAILED, IT WAS AS IF THE STEERING WHEEL WAS NO LONGER CONNECTED TO THE STEERING BOX. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE INTERNALS OF THE BOX AFTER IT FAILED AND THE MECHANIC ADMITTED HE NEVER SAW ANYTHING LIKE THIS...
