power steering

I have a leak from the power steering reservoir which i've just been topping off for quite a while.. any kind of extended uphill driving seems to make the power steering louder and it tends to leak a little more. first off, exactly what should i be using in the power steering res? secondly, does...

Hello everyone. New on here but have been browsing the forum since I picked up my 1995 FZJ80 about 5 years ago. More so in the last year or so, as it seems like it has just been one thing after the next with this thing. I don't know much about this stuff but whenever my mechanic tells me...

Wanted to start this thread to keep track of my build. Just trying to get the truck rolling again. I'm not looking to make it perfect, just want to enjoy driving it again. Rear Full-floating Axle Housing I've already installed a cable locker in the front axle. I'm currently working on...

Hello All. I have a 1985 FJ60 with 153k miles on it. I've owned it for six years and it's been a great truck for me. I noticed a power steering fluid leak that started as a trickle but progressed to the point of my taking the truck to get looked at by my local mechanic. He says that my power...

I was planning a run through Cleghorn Ridge tomorrow so I was just going through and checking fluids and noticed my transmission fluid seemed a bit low. It was warm and the reading was just below the hot mark. I honestly can't remember if that's the level it was the last time I checked. I...

Hey guys, here's a mash of ps components I collected around 5 yrs ago. I'm finally getting around to this project and been reading all the associated threads. I intended to do the mini truck setup as I've done before myself on a 78 FJ. I do have the box bracket from JTO (not in picture) in my...

Collective genius at IH8Mud, I recently bought my first Cruiser, an 83 FJ60, bone stock, doors and top removed, roll bar added, 150K miles. Found it on CL, flew out to IL, and drove it home to UT. The 1800 mile trip was awesome. It ran fine, pretty gutless, averaged 11 mpg, would get hot...

So I'm new here. Hi guys. My '84 FJ60 (F2 motor) just recently had the inevitable smog pump failure, and I didn't have the money on hand to buy a new pump or an idler pulley kit to replace the smog pump (My state is lenient on emissions and I don't need the smog system). What I wound up doing...

Does anyone know if the 2H shares the high speed power steering line with any other engines? There's a guy selling parts from his 62, I'll get his power steering components if they'll cross over. I don't currently know what engine he has. Thanks. Ara D.

I don't post much, by I often come on here to read up on how to do something. This site always delivers. Right now, my power steering pump and hose are both leaking and need to be replaced. One shop quoted about $600 parts and labor but I have next week off and want to do it myself. I'm fairly...

Hi Anyoen have pictures of a RHD power steering reservoir mount. The one I have is Self made by others and I need some ideas. Preferably mounted on the left of the engine looking from the front. Cheers

Hi guys, Have had a look around the forum for power steering options for a 1981 RHD bj42. Have seen loads of options for our but not RHD. Would a factory setup from a bj42 with power steering just "bolt on" or would there be some more required? Thanks in advance

Highly desired and rare, this vehicle would be great to plop a new tub and a used hardtop on as the underside and running gear are pretty tight and it seems to drive nice and reliable. Happy to discuss or show the vehicle. It is a two owner car, but technically on paper / carfax a three owner...

Hi I couldn't find the answer to this (maybe I suck at searching) but if I have an LJ70 1989 STD model with a non-power steering box, is it possible to install a power steering box as replacement? Specifically, a power box of a LJ70 VX or similar (another LJ70 anyway). Thanks

The steering on my HJ61 has gotten really bad, but with too many projects and way too little time, I just don't have the time to do what I would like: do a real frame-of... Is there any way of diagnosing wether it's the pump or box that is failing? Right around middle it feels ok, as in not...

I'm on my second FJ60, have had it about 6 months and have enjoyed restoring it every bit as much as my first one. My first one left me stranded on the highway literally 45 minutes after I bought it with a seized smog air pump, and with little choice in the matter I had it towed and had the...

Well… Sorry to start a new thread, but this is kind of a new topic. After getting all flush & excited about possibly using the FJ62 oil cooler (heat exchanger) built into the bottom of the FJ62 radiator for a power steering cooler on the FJ60, I decided to take a closer look at it. What I...
