power steer

[Rhett]

Im puting power steer on the suzi so it is easyer for the better half to drive. I know vitara or jimny boxes would be easyist but Im after cheapist. Wat other boxes have ppl used?? I allready have a pump.

toyota cressida, very easy swap..one bolt lines up right, redrill and sleeve the other two. rag joint is in correct position, and can use a vitara pitman arm, so no need for modding the drag link.
I think the box cost him $70 @ pick a part.
My mate has this set up and I will soon...christover

A guess only, late 70's to lmid 80's...there must be similar on other cars round same era.
I don't think the cressida name was used again for any other newer toyotas

Hi
I installed the cressida box into my 413 but I used a 10mm plate and drilled off the original holes then mounted the box to this . this straigthend the steering shaft and mean I did not have to drill any holes in the chassis so it can all be put back to original if needed .
I did not know about the vitara arm then so had one modified nut if the vitara arm works thats they way to go .
the plate has cap screws on each side so can be nolted to the chassis and then bolted to the box .

Cheers

have you thought about power assisted ram of an early fairlane should be fairly simple to fit

Forgot to ask before?

What have people used for the pump with the toy power steer on the zook.

my sr20de mate is using the pump that came with the motor.
But vit pumps, I'm told, bolt straight on to 1.3 blocks, but haven't researched that, yet. pulley may need changing as vits are multi v belts?

its a remote ram tat runs seperate to the main steering box.when i had my ZD fairlane i used to fin it was a bit light in the steering for fast driving so i simply removed the ram and pump.i dont see why you couldnt adapt[weld] it to the standard steering arm mount the pump and all the gear and voila instant power steer.
