How to Install a New Gear Box on a 1986 RamCharger - Featuring Relics and Rust.

At BuyAutoParts.com, we take pride in helping keep older vehicles on the road by offering parts many people assume are no longer available. One of the most overlooked examples is steering components—especially for older trucks and SUVs. Many drivers don’t realize that brand‑new steering gear boxes are still available for classic and older vehicles.

Recently, Relics and Rust installed a new steering gear box from BuyAutoParts.com on their 1986 Dodge RamCharger and documented the installation in a YouTube video. We provided the steering gear box at no cost, and they captured the install process to show real‑world fitment and results on a well‑used, older vehicle.

Brand-New Steering Gear Boxes for Older Vehicles

For vehicles like the 1986 Dodge RamCharger, steering problems often come from decades of wear—loose steering, excessive play, or inconsistent feel. Traditionally, owners are pushed toward rebuilds or used parts, both of which can come with unknown history and variable quality.

At BuyAutoParts.com, we offer newly manufactured steering gear boxes for many older trucks, SUVs, and classic vehicles. These are not rebuilt or remanufactured units. They are brand‑new components designed to meet modern standards while maintaining correct fitment for original applications.

Benefits of choosing a brand‑new steering gear box include:

- Tighter, more predictable steering response
- Improved reliability and safety
- No prior internal wear or fatigue
- No core exchange or rebuild delays

Seeing a brand‑new steering gear box installed on a 1986 Dodge RamCharger highlights that older vehicles don’t have to rely solely on rebuilt components.
