Teflon EZ Steer Kit what do you think?
 

I have everything apart, so I was thinking of installing the ez steer kit, but I am unsure.

What are your thoughts on this product. Have you used it? Did it help? Did it not make a difference? Worth the money?

I didn't see much difference. But the shortened pitman made a big difference.

I use them.

I put them in one of my pickups. I did not notice much difference

Is it just me, or is this item tricky to find in Snyder's on line cattle dog?
Down the left, not under steering, not under front axle. A search of steering, Model A ... not there.

A search of "steer" brings it up.
Haven't seen the steel ones listed yet, or the bronze impregnated ones.
Are the bronze ones better?

Re: Teflon EZ Steer Kit what do you think?
 

I've never seen bronze ones, but they may work nicely.

Expensive.

Here they are about $20 cheaper. Says they are longer wearing compared to the other teflon seats. I am planning to use the regular teflon when I redo my front end.

Re: Teflon EZ Steer Kit what do you think?
 

I used the bronze ones. Figured I only wanted to rebuild the darn thing once. Less resistance than steel, but no different from the regular teflon in terms of performance.

Re: Teflon EZ Steer Kit what do you think?
 

I question the longevity of the Teflon ball socket parts. How many miles before replacement?

Perhaps a grease with a Teflon additive is just as good and much less expensive?

I’ve been using the Teflon-bronze kit from Mike’s in Georgia. Their current price is $73.25 and I have installed them on three of my cars.

I have them on my slant window sedan and I kept the pitman arm stock. I’m happy with the steering.

I would think if the inserts themselves were available it would be more affordable and I probably would give it a go.

Re: Teflon EZ Steer Kit what do you think?
 

That would be these:

You will need the correct plugs to use those inserts though. Can't use the stock ones.

Re: Teflon EZ Steer Kit what do you think?
 

Ah good point

Re: Teflon EZ Steer Kit what do you think?
 

Use PTFE grease, not lithium or sodium based for the teflon seats.

Re: Teflon EZ Steer Kit what do you think?
 

And too repeat, no amount of fancy material will compensated for steering arm balls that are too worn.

I have then on my two cars plus I had the ball ends replaced . Also have the pitman arm shorten .have had no problems with them . Getting ready to build a husker style delivery and plan to do the same .
