Thread: New Vega Steering Boxes

Tweet

Long as I'm at it, here's a pic of the popular Vega #140 box.

Most times these boxes are in pretty good shape and all they need is adjustment and new seals.

GM no longer sells the seals and Mullins won't sell the seals.
No big deal, any bearing house either has a seal that fits or can get one.

Clean the box out, paint or powder it, re-assemble with new seals, spoon it full of Sta-Lubes Extreme pressure grease with Molybdenum Disulfide, install cover, adjust and install.

GM specs call for grease in these boxes, but GM doesn't stock it.
I've found the Sta-Lube grease to work well.

One other nice part about the Vega box is that the aluminum cover plate buffs up nicely.
