Generally the upper bearing runs out of grease and wipes out the bearing and the shaft becomes badly pitted. This surface is hard chrome and could be redone or the shaft replaced. There are kits available with bearings and small parts and the book gives a good rebuild procedure. There are a couple of sources in my area that do a good job rebuilding steering boxes and are reasonable.
