Built for dependable steering, the TERREPOWER (formerly BBB Industries) New Power Steering Gear, part number N503-0124, turns steering-wheel input into movement of the steering linkage and uses power assist to reduce the effort needed to steer. It is listed for several models, among them the 1980-1998 Chevrolet P30, 1980-1998 GMC P3500 and 1980-1989 Chevrolet P20, and is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications.
A steering gear can wear internally or begin to leak over time. Signs it may need replacing include excess play in the steering wheel, wandering, heavy or uneven steering effort, and fluid seeping from the gear housing. Diagnose the steering system before replacing the gear, because tie rods, other linkage parts and the pump can cause similar symptoms. If the gear is the cause, the N503-0124 replaces it.
Follow the vehicle service information for installation, including the correct fasteners and whether they may be reused. Engine details and the full list of vehicles are in the Buyer's Guide tab.
