Retrofitting Powersteering

Postby AE86less » Tue Jun 28, 2011 5:39 pm

I'm looking put some PS into my SA60 wagon.

I've found a complete setup from a SA60 Celica, what parts will I need other than the obvious Pump, brackets, lines and rack? I'm wondering about the steering column specifically, I haven't pulled mine apart/got the new setup and don't know if it's a different part? Also steering arms?

I'm sure you'll let me know if my question needs clarification (as it usually does :lol: )

Thanks

going off other old toyotas iv swapped (PS to non PS) the column will be different and the steering arms will be longer on the manual steering car, so if you fit PS with manual steering arms it will have super duper light steering but shit as lock

Yeah- the lower part of the steering column is a different length...
I agree also about the power steer arms being shorter
I used to think that the orange and green tictacs gave you special powers. The orange ones would make you stronger and the green ones would make you faster. So i used to eat some green ones and run around my lounge as fast as i could, then eat the orange ones and try to pick up the sofa. I wish it were true!

crossmember is different. PS rack is larger in diameter and requires appropriate crossmember
