will an 80 series power steer box do 4 a x oversteer on a lux and will the lux power steer pump run the 80 series box

mate i haev a v6 4runner p/s box and hilux resivour and lines fits very neat.... mates got same box, but the 4runner lines and the mounts for the lines dont line up tidy need to fab them up a bit(not use zipties)

the 4runner box is ment ot be the best from wot ive been told...it works awsome ive not had a problem with it

80 box will not work as the pitman arm swings the wrong way

hey spazbot thax 4 the info yes i realize that the pity arm swings at the front of the pump but was told i could reverse the pitment arm 4 the x over set up but as u can tell im not 100% sure it will work myself thats why i need some feed back any will do open to all theries & sugestions


hey macca177 thax 4 the inut when u say the same box do u mean 80s or 4 runner box & what model power steer res & lines on both set ups any info will help

If you reverse the pitman Arm on an 80series box and fit it to a hilux you would have to turn the steering wheel left if you wanted to turn right.

Just get an IFS Hilux box.

the only reason i was going to try & fit it was because i v got 1 kickin around & the thery behind reversing the pity arm was insted of pushing it would be pullin because on an 80s to turn left the arm cames out of the front & pushes front of the hub left so if i was to reverse it & face it to the back of the car it would pull back of the hub right therfore tur the car left that was the thery i was told

how are you going to bolt up the colum?

ok when i say reverse it i mean pull the arm off and put it back on 180 degreess the other way

i ment by saying the same box...he has the same v64runner IFS box that i do... i dont actually know wot year model but its fairly recent years. I have the orignia ifs hilx p/s lines..where mate has the v6 4runner ifs lines. If that makes more sense
neither of us have had nay trouble just minor seal leaks.

Yep thats the way i understood what you were saying. And if you do this you turn the wheel left your going to turn right.


On an 80series the steering link from the box to the axle runs in front of the axle just like it does on a hilux Xover conversion so if you flip the arm 180 its going to work backwards.

y cant u just use the 80 series box mounted like it is on the 80 wif the arm facin forward like the 80 ??

Thats wat i thought. that way your pitman arm wouldn't hit your spring pack under full compression. you would have to shorten your steering column though.

I dont think you could mount the 80 box with the arm pointing forward. You would have to lean it back too far to clear the spring and then the column wouldnt connect with it.

i think it will work i plan on using a 60 series box with forward facing pitman arm on my next setup, and its easy 2 get the column 2 line up just cut the firwall out a bit and use the unis thaty r already on the shaft it will work 4 sure

Has anyone fitted a 60s PS box to a hilux.

Well, I went ahead and bought one b4 I realised half the front end of the truck would need reworking to fit it up.

But if you were building a truck from scratch it could be done. There wouldn't be a great deal of advantage to gain as far as I can see, other than you could compress the guts out of your leafs.

hey chris im tryin its just the dollars flowin in as quik as i would like them 2 b cause ive either got 2 pull some seriuos shyt out of me but before xmas to get the xtra cab on with xover 35s hi pinion with air locker or it goes away as it was when u left syd
