'95/G20 Need to replace steering box/gear with Hydro asst brake
My steering gear/box is leaking like a sieve. Been checking out the pickApart yards and the hydro systems are few and far between. Found a nice box but it's from a vacuum assist brake unit. Chevy says there a one number difference in the part # 18 to 19 between the two units. But all the aftermarket sites don't differentiate between the two brake systems for boxes, Is it OK to use a vac brake system in a hydro asst unit?? Thanks Paul

Thanks for the replies!! Looking at the aftermarket folks (Rock, Auto Z, Advance, O'R) none differentiate between Hydro or Vac braking systems. Don't want to do all this work and have a giant fail!! LOL Thanks Paul
