Gday all, I know this has been. Covered extensively, but I can not find the info I need anywhere .
I'm currently installing 60 series power steer box on my 78 FJ 45, and today I noticed that when the steering wheel is turned to the left the out put shaft on the box rotation turns the opposite way, turning the wheels in the opposite direction. Am I doing something extraordinarily stupid or it's gotta be the wrong box somehow? What am I missing here fellas, these are the pics I've got of my setup so far, it doesn't show it with the relay rod goin from the pitman arm to the other end of tie rod, but that was my plan

Maybe some more pictures will help.
Otherwise you could just go with it - seen a few circus bikes rigged up like that, no thief will get far with your truck at least ;)
 
Pretty simple. You actually have a 70 series rear-facing pitman arm box. Sell it or trade it and get a actual 60 or 80 series box, or another 70 series box designed for forward-facing pitman arm and you will be good to go.

Yeah I pritty quickly figured that out, but cheers anyway! Bought it off marketplace, it was advertised as a 60 series box with no pitman arm. Bloody bloke who sold it to me was still trying to tell me he got it off a 60 series. Now he's gone dark cause I want my coin back!
Anyway I've sourced an actual 60 box now
