<div dir="ltr">Regarding the power steering box rebuild for a P5, perhaps you could find a truck oriented shop that would take it on. Perhaps a shop in Europe could handle doing it, even if your's is left hand drive. Lared did my p6 box 20 years ago and parts may well be a problem! Sorry to hear that you are having trouble there... Do you have a leak or looseness in the box? Maybe if it does work, consider yourself lucky and keep using it. Good luck with your search.

I decided to call them today and well, it appears they won't rebuild the <br>
Hydrosteer box because they "can't find parts" for it. Any other ideas?<br>
