Lares Steering Gear Box

Lares Steering Gear Boxes: OE-Grade Precision, New & Remanufactured

When your steering feels vague, loose, or unresponsive, the gear box is often the culprit — and few names carry more weight in that repair than Lares Corporation. Founded in 1986 and operating from a 30,000-square-foot facility in Cambridge, Minnesota, Lares has grown into one of the largest dedicated steering component manufacturers in the United States. Their steering gear boxes represent the heart of that expertise, covering both new and remanufactured units for a remarkably wide range of domestic cars, trucks, and SUVs.

Two Product Lines Built for Reliability

Lares offers steering gear boxes in two distinct forms, each engineered for a specific type of buyer:

• New Steering Gear Boxes — Manufactured from OE-grade materials to the same high-quality standards as the original components. Each new unit is engineered to OE specifications, then individually inspected, adjusted, and pre-filled with high-quality grease so it arrives ready to install. These units are ideal for restoration projects or builds where a brand-new component is preferred.
• Remanufactured Steering Gear Boxes — Cores are thoroughly cleaned, exterior surfaces are reconditioned to a like-new appearance, and every internal component is carefully inspected and replaced if it does not meet OE tolerances. The result is a unit that performs like new at a more accessible price point.

Broad Coverage, Including Classic and Performance Applications

One of Lares' most compelling strengths is the depth of their fitment catalog. Their lineup spans decades of vehicles, from vintage classics to modern daily drivers. Notable offerings include a dedicated New Corvette Manual Steering Gear Box, a 1955–1957 Chevrolet fast-ratio (16:1) manual unit — a favorite for restorers seeking quicker turn-in — and remanufactured power steering boxes featuring fast 10:1 ratios with IROC internals, available in both 3-bolt and 4-bolt mount configurations for GM, AMC, and Jeep applications.

All parts go through a vigorous testing process before leaving the Lares facility, and Lares backs every steering gear box with a limited lifetime warranty (one year for commercial use) — a confidence-inspiring commitment that reflects the quality of their manufacturing process.
