This question is in an area I have never had to work in. I have put an upper seal in one and centered one, but that is it. So the my response here is strictly an uneducated opinion.
Today they make variable ratio steering boxes and the Equinox I drive has electric speed sensitive steering. These "improvements" take some time to get use to. At least we have a single ratio to get use to. If I were worried about the difference between 2.5 and 3.3 turns lock to lock, I think I would like to know why this one box is 2.5?
It is my understanding some of the these boxes have internal stops. Does this box have these? Also I assume they make several ratios in these boxes. Is this 2.5 thing because the box ratio is different and you are hitting the control arms at 2.5 turns? I think I would have to determine which one of these is different before I decided on my next step.
For more technical information someone else will need to answer here.
