| Post subject: | Sierra power steering |
Ok with the addition of a lockrite in front of my 92 wide track swb, I have heavy steering. 1. I have a vitara power steer box and an EA falcon pump lined up for $200 from local wreckers. Is this a fair price? 2 I assume vitara boxes, line up with the bolt holes on a sierra? 3. I have a 3' dropped pitman arm on the sierra box. will the splines and tapers be the same or do i have to get a vitara dropped arm? 4.What is the go with the rag joint. Vitaras have a uni? |

Did you get some lines and a reseviour? zookprojectfnq wrote: 2 I assume vitara boxes, line up with the bolt holes on a sierra? Sorry, they don't bolt on. You will need to drill your chassis and weld in crush tubes. While you're there you can do something about the fact that the mounting flange of the steering box and the input shaft axis aren't parallel to each other. zookprojectfnq wrote: 3.

I used a early model Tarago arm (sline is the same) and had a tapered sleeve machined so the stock drag line would still fit. That worked pretty well. zookprojectfnq wrote: 4.What is the go with the rag joint. Vitaras have
a uni? The Sierra has a uni joint at the firewall end of the steering shaft. I replaced my rag joint with one of those (the Vit steering box input shaft is the same spline). The shaft will have to be shortened for this. HTH. |

$50!!!! You have too much money... I can get drivable EA falcons for that!. I used a "mid 80's" Celica pump, lines and reservoir for my powersteer that I got off Ebay for $1.25.(plus $12 post) |
