Suzuki sierra power steer

[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?

I priced a complete power steer unit from a Jimny and they wanted $900 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?
Paul.

[Gutless]

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.

Try AllJap in brisbane

for running bigger tires (33's) will the jimny Pwr steering box cut it or os the vitara pwr steering box stronger and more powerful ??

YES. IM RUNNING 33 claws and its fine..

give me a week and ill tell you how it goes with 35s.

[oozuk]

be keen to hear how you go

comparing the jimny box to the vitara box, is the vitara box lighter to steer ??

bigger internals or identical and just different housings ??

[Dozoor]

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 .

[Rhett]

My wife says something like that to me, but I think she is patronising me
Peter.

[Rhett]

But I also have heard with the right rubber U can mount anything. (They might not have been talking about tires though!)

[leary393]

So tell me is it possible to bolt up the jimny power steer with the jimny pitman arm and run a standard sierra high steer and drag link with no modification. SPOA of coarse

or does the draglink need to be mod

[St Jimmy]

Look in the for sales

[The Frayne]

Cheapest option for an old 85 girl?

Any advice would be sound!

[zook4fun]

[v840]

Try this one from Joeblow.

[jimbo jones]

this is my set up its a 80 series box and a holden V8 vn pump with bundera power steer line's had to mount box over vin number though chassie has crush tube welded in works really well with 37's
oh also had to mod the steering shaft and rag roint to fit

[v840]

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.

Anyway my EA pump and 79 series box turn my 32 inch Pedes an 6 psi on rocks no problems

[Gutless]

You fitted the passengers side shackle backwards you goose!

Nice steer setup though. I did similar using a IFS lux box on my V6 zook.
