hydro assist (1 Viewer)

Has anyone ever seen someone port a p.s. box that mounts in the back of the front fender, or is even possible. I am running one that was swapped in from a pickup i think.

You can drill and tap any power steering box for hydro assist.

So you are running a Toyota pickup powersteering?

Like Eric_S said... just about any box can be ported...

What ram are you using? I use the Rocklogic kit and LOVE it...

Well last night i was going over diffrent steering ideas and was thinking that instead of mounting a diferent steering box to the frame i would swap out the different rod ends for heims and mount the ram on the frame to the "L"ish shaped arm. As far as a ram I got a link off this site or it could have been pbb for a ram that was like 35 bucks. And I sort of wanted to learn how to port the box and mod. the pump myself anyone know of any good tech links on this. At this point im not sure I am inthe middle of a 4link and coilovers I hope to have this close to done by the end of the month.

Thanks woody I've allready seen this, I don't have an ifs box mine is like the one used in pickups with stock solid axle in the stock cruiser position, I've never seen anyone run a ram from that particular box.

so, you've got a push pull minitruck box in the stock cruiser location and wanna add assist?

IMO, that box is merely adequate for 35" tires, and with all the linkage is a poor choice to waste time on for porting...I'd seriously consider swapping to Scout Saginaw, GM Saginaw, or something else and eliminating a few links first...
