My Power Steering Install

[Chucky]

I just checked my invoice and it lists the following:
P917R:  Rack End Eunos, Ford, Mazda
TE5361: Rodeo Tie Rod End

As for the other comments on my intermediate shaft, yes a new one could be fabricated, should I do this? No, because my legitimate engineer has passed it, should you? ask your engineer and do what they say.  Some engineers will pass mine, some wouldn't, some states would, some states wouldn't, I don't make those calls and neither do most of the people on here ;-)

now with that said and done, I took her for a good run today and the lock is a lot less but man it drives nice

why has the lock changed ?

Thanks Chucky for the info
I will be talking to the engineer I'll be using soon, another thing on the list to play with

The lock changes because of the different pivot points and travel of the rack

I have heard that there is a steering column that has an electric power steering unit all in one. I think the guys said its from a Hyundi of sorts - Does any one have any experience in this department? ,I recently had air con fitted, really good job, -Minus  1 degree C at the vent but the guy who did it reckons power steering isn't going to happen due to the limited space under there,He suggested the electric solution.

i've heard of a few people using astra or mazda 2 electric steering columns, haven't had first hand experience though.

I chose not to do the power assisted column, because I wanted a nice clean cab.  It is an option though, even with the original rack but a bit too bulky a solution for me.

I did another 400km trip on the weekend, absolutely no problems I'm finally happy and ready to fit my sway bar now :-)

[Sammy]

[Chucky]

I'm not on here that often but I will try to post pics sometime soon.
