What model zook shaft do i need

is it a coily one

boner

Post by **alien** » Thu May 01, 2008 9:17 am

Its definitely 6".... this is a better pic to show it, i dont have any dead side on, but you can see here how far forward it is.

Also - doesnt jimny power steer bolt on easier than vit power steer? or are they the same box?

Post by **Spike_Sierra** » Thu May 01, 2008 9:35 am

yes jimny is bolt on, but very hard to come by and quite expensive.

Post by **NIK** » Thu May 01, 2008 7:50 pm

Looks good, how is it balanced? Does it handle well?
Jimny is 99.9% bolt on needs new hoses but pump bolts up. I got mine complete for $500 and after the sale he saw there was a 1 infront of the 5

.
Boner I think its any w/t model. I just said steering shaft with slip shaft.

Any luck?

Be great to get all ideas we need in one thread and maybe see if we can some bolt on adapters made up.

I wouldnt mind finding out more about the wedge for the Vitara box as I have a power steering kit now of a Vitara and will be fitting up to a Sierra soon.

Post by **neil_se** » Wed May 07, 2008 7:25 pm

I'm very interested too, i'd like to do a powersteering conversion when i do my engine conversion in a few weeks time.

Post by **joeblow** » Wed May 07, 2008 8:23 pm

are these studs or bolts? and if so do the heads protrude on the other side?

Post by **BlueSuzy** » Wed May 07, 2008 9:14 pm

Looks like countersunk bolts to me! Would need them to sit the box flush to the plate.

Post by **just cruizin'** » Wed May 07, 2008 9:58 pm

Haven't had a chance to get a look at the chassis. Should be right to go on the weekend

Post by **neil_se** » Sun Jun 01, 2008 9:23 pm

Can I bump this up. I've got all the Vitara gear sitting in my garage waiting to go in, i just need to sort out the wedge!

Yes the bolts are counter sunk (Just like the ones you can see) and to stop them turning when you want to remove the box i just put a small weld on the head of the counter sunk bolts .

For the steering shaft i got the shaft shortened and a new spline cut , so my steering shaft has 2 ujs now .

I only did this as i was not aware you could use a colasable shaft.

when i made the adaptor i set the steering box up about 15mm foward ,so i am able to redrill the spring purches later on and i run a standard vitara pitman arm.

Post by **nicbeer** » Tue Sep 30, 2008 5:15 pm

agree. need one too.

will the orig vit arm work on this wedge setup?

Post by **zookimal** » Tue Sep 30, 2008 5:38 pm

Interested as well, mainly in the interests of allowing the steering box further forward.

how far foward can you go before it hits the crossmember? Or have you removed/modified the crossmember?
As the standard sierra box is right up on the crossmember as it is (hugs it)...

Post by **Turbo Tonka** » Mon Apr 20, 2009 6:20 pm

would there be any ill effects?
