Hi all I am going to use a 75 series landcruiser power steering box in my Sierra I just wanted to know if the 1.6 Vitara power steering pump I have Will have enough flow/ pressure for the landcruiser box to work correctly or would I be better off with a v6 commodore power steering pump as it still users the multi rib pulley |

At a guess I would say no. Someone might have a conflicting opinion though |

It will work fine. Depends on the size of the rubber you intend to run though. Rob is running 60 series p/s box with baleno pump and has been doing the job for years. He is however going to upgrade. I guess what im saying is it will work but is not the best tool for the job. |

I assume you know the box mounts way further back on the chassis, so axle and bumpstop position, shock mount location etc will all be effected. Steve. |

Steve. I'm my application the box will be mounted further forward then the Sierra box I will have no problems with my bump stops or shock mounts because I have already cut them all off Will be making new ones when everything is position correctly |

Huh? The pitman arm on an LC box is forward[/] facing. That means the box has to be mounted about 12" further [i]back in the chassis to get the drag link in the same place. 
Just making sure you knew that - your response sounded like you didn't. Personally, I think they are a bad box to use in a sierra, but I'm aware it's been done. Steve. |

So it is - owned! OK, in that case make sure you won't be all over it with your tyres then - that's a lot of bulk to put right where you are putting the tyre. LHD IFS hilux box FTW! - prefer inside the chassis rail for neatness. Steve. |

If clearance becomes a problem I will adjust the steering stops or add wheel spacers The reason I am sticking with the 75 series box is I already have it and the have order the high steer to suite |

My lwb will run lux ifs box, lux diffs. It will rub only slightly with 15x8 -19 rims, and 35x12.5's. I have to adjust steer stops for other reasons. |
