Hydro Assist Steering Box Porting & Reseal Service
Interested in adding hydro assist steering to your Jeep or off-road rig, but don’t want to take on the challenge yourself?
Let us do the hard work for you. Send us your working steering gear box and we will reseal it, port and tap it for hydro assist,
clean it, paint it, and reassemble it.
This is a great option if you want hydro assist now, or if you want your steering box set up for hydro assist in the future.
Hydro assist is commonly used on off-road vehicles with larger tires, locked front axles, and rigs that see rocks, trails,
and technical crawling.
We also offer ready-to-go steering boxes if you are in a rush or don’t want any downtime.
See our other steering gear box listings for ready-to-install options.
