I usually find them pretty worn out by the time they start leaking. I no longer waste my time, slap a new one in and DTR -Lifetime warranty on most reman units.

If you want to go better than part store remans take a look at Red Head steering boxes. Heard they are good.
I have a reman Cardone that’s about 5 years old that is nice and tight but starting to leak at the output.
Considering going the Read Head route. They are pricey .
