Suzuki sierra power steer

Post by ausyota »

First off... YES I SEARCHED :)
Im going to fit power steer to the wifes zook.
We only have 30" MTRs at the moment and probably wont be going bigger than 31s in the future but power steer would still be great off road.

From what I can gather the Jimny box is the go as it bolts straight up and the pitman arm is right too. Is that correct?
Whats the best pump to use? I take it any pump of almost any vehichle will do the same job?
Will I still have room to fit a supercharger later? :twisted:

I priced a complete power steer unit from a Jimny and they wanted $900 :shock: and that was a private sale

Anyway good luck

Complete as in box, pump, lines?
If so then $900 sounds about right if it was in good nick.

the jimny box does bolt strait up. and the hole for the drag link tierod end is the correct size.
the only thing i noticed was that you cant fit a sierra std or drop pitman arm ,as it is a vitara spline. also the jimny pitman arm does not have the holes for a steering dampner bracket.

you can use a jimny or vitara pump (or any other for that matter) and still fit the charger above it as long as you dont have a/c.

So whats the go with import sierra power steer?
Is it any good?
That would be the ideal easy bolt on solution would it not?
Is there any reason to go with jimny steering over import sierra if I can find both of them?

The sierra steering is quite good. I jnow someone who has it. 31's are not problem at all. You can usually pick up a sierra import setup from a jap wrecker for about $650 including the pump etc.

:idea: Might be a bit overkill , But the Range rover one bolts to the inside of the chassis rail , and will run with a holden pump commadore

mounting on the rail would be fab work , but the rubber joint has the same bolt patern as the zook rag joint !
Seems pretty powerful it turns my 35s on bitumen stationary with sports wheel one handed, has heavy arsed V6 sitting on it to .
Just a thought .

Any probs with your DS spring hitting the draglink under flex Jimbo or does it clear ok?

I could've sworn your rig had hi-steer? I must be going nuts.
