2. What you need to Know
There is no parts book that will identify the steering gear on any given vehicle.
The part number however is stamped or cast on each gear. This presentation will show you how to locate that part number.
Due to road tar, paint, grease and dirt it can be difficult to see the number.
Finding the number on the gear is the only means to insure you order the correct unit.
BAB is the only re-manufacturer with more than one location.
