My Roza is a 1991 DXF300 and not fitted with power steering or air con as standard.

I've fitted both, genuine power steering from a wrecker at $650.00 and an after market aircon. Recently retrofitted a genuine Feroza aircon compressor & mounting bracket but thats another story.

Changing the steering was near enough to straight forward but with a lot of pushing and pulling to get everthing in. Took me a good afternoon to do it by myself. Happy to have done it. Makes Roza a lot easier to drive.

leon... the part that the steering rod shaft goes into.. does that already have preset attachments for the hoses off of the power steering pump? how do i install this?

PV Thats the steering box, Yep I got the lot, everything in a change over kit except they didn't want any of the old gear back.

ok well... i know the parts truck has power steering.. so what exactly do i need to pull off in order to install on my rig? can i jus add the parts onto my rig or do i have to take some parts off of my rig in order to fit on the power steering?

You have to take off the Steering box on your existing rig.

You need to fit the power steering box. The power steering pump. The power stering belt pulley on the front of the motor. The power steering oil resevoir and all the pipes and hoses. Then when it's working a wheel alignment will be required.
