The redhead steering gears were a fail for me twice, literally 0 play & was very squirrly driving i actually felt very unsafe. They sent me another and it was the same thing. There was no ‘center’ which is what made it impossible to deal with as well. I would try a new edelmann or new lares from rock auto next if I got another. The GM remans got very sloppy after 5,000 miles as well.
In the booster. It has a weep hole where the case bolts together. Fairly common. There are 2 main gaskets there a figure 8 looking one for the case and a donut that seals around the piston. I pinched the figure 8 one time closing it up and I wrecked the other one another time. Didnt lube it up enough before closing it up. What I have noticed is there is definitely some variance between the brands.
With both remans and new being hit-or-miss, has anyone tried to rebuild their own? We can't do much worse than that.
If I had the skill, time, and tools I would try. I have a delco reman sitting in my basement with 5,000 miles on it just sitting in the box after getting a low mile oem from LKQ
That appears to be it. Hopefully it's not too expensive--for a clip.
Google “ GM brake switch retaining Clip”. Everybody loses them. They’re available at every auto parts store for about $5. Dorman makes a replacement.
The dorman ones I keep finding did not fit. 13808 iirc is the that part number.
