    Steering gearbox cracked

    I just went through this. I had to pull my v6 out. I don't know about leaving the 4cyl in or not. I reconditioned/rebuilt my replacement unit. Before you install the replacement I'd open it up and inspect the bearing races. If they are pitted or the worm gear is bad then there is no point. There...

    Power Steering Failure

    Mine blew out the front. The Alfa Romeo crowd has a billet box available. What would be nice if someone were to build a new box is to design replaceable readily available races. Or if there was an adapter system (bracket, U'joint ) for a common box

    A Stronger Steering Box?

    So My Electric power steering busted my Alpine box. Apparently this has happened to others in the US and UK. Alpha Romeos have had this problem with their Burman style boxes too. Enough so that one can buy a billet case for 800 pounds or a complete new assembly for 3k pounds. I'm wondering if it...

    SV V6 Restoration

    I don't know why you don't just get a Tiger donor body and transfer the VIN. It would be a lot faster. (Of course it wouldn't be authentic Alpine)

    EPS potential danger in Alpine (Alleged)

    I did my own EPS on my Alpine and the box busted out the front. Luckily it was in a parking lot. I thought maybe I screwed up the modification. My theory was that I stressed by demonstrating it over and over without the car rolling. I have a replacement and was debating going to stock. It was...
