does anybody know where i can get power steering fitted on my wifes mk 4 rs turbo

cheers

 

Not an easy job as apart from a few Motorbility cars that were converted non of the Mk4's came with PAS. However, I beleieve Jano from Oddkid Creations has donea conversion so it may be worth dropping him a PM as he posts on here.

 

There a few people that do it now - using electric motors on modded columns.

 

mk5 escort cvh come with power steering i was told to use the bits off one of them

 

It's the rack itself which is a bit problematic.

 

As Jesse t said above the rack needs new mounts made on the bulkhead + a few other mods. Can be done but on a mk3/4 there is no real point IMO

I can do it tho

 

if this is fitted,does torque steer get reduced then?

 

NO!

The best thing to reduce that is by fitting 3 piece drive shafts

 

brains

 

A little but most of it is just logic. Many car companys have been using three piece shafts for years!!!!!

EVEN THE OLD MK2 fiesta has three piece shafts but dont tell anyone i told you that cos they wont belive you Before you start asking these shafts are no good for anything else as they are like toffecrisp chocolate bars

Have fun maytee

 

they were so much better when rowntrees made em,nestle` arnt as good.

 

Your quite funny dude. Shame you aint closer, i bet we would have a right laugh down my yard with everyone else hope to see ya at one of the shows, make sure you come over and say hello

 

for sure ,jano,the giggles will be flying,when you catch a look at my car

 

price please??

 

do you like toffee crisps then jezrs

 

Well just the shafts work out around £235 each so x3 and then the cost of the Gearbox, mounts, linkage etc.... Altogether works out around £1000 for an MTX75 with the drives sahfts and components to run.

 

jano,this thread, s2 wont run,was pump after all,with pics!

read it and sleep/weep!

 

yeah i had a quick read? Have you got a certain part that i should be looking out for?
