Hello all,

I'm trying to convert my manual steering to a power steering setup and I was wondering...Do i have to change my steering gear box or is the stock one ok to use? also do I need a different pitman arm? I've got most of what i need to do the setup but I'm trying to put all the pieces together. Attached is the picture of what I have.

You can use your old manual steering gearbox, the only difference is the extra turn in the ratio.

You will have to change the pitman arm. Manual steering pitman has a stud knuckle on the centerlink end - power steering has a tapered hole for the ball stud.
