Power to manual steering conversion ???'s

I have found a completely rebuilt PS system to be very nice. That, along with new front end components is what you are after. Some do one, but not the other and still have play. Armstrong steering is well.....arm-strong steering.

Like I said in the other post, I got tired of mine, the sloppy steering, the leaking, not to mention the extra drag on the engine , so I swapped in a manual steering and a new steering box. You have to get a new centerlink (I think I paid about $110, maybe $120 for it) and the steering box was like $400-$450. I figured I was working with a 34 year old steering box at the time and if the new unit gets another 34 years, I'll be in the old folks home. The cost of the P/S parts I would have had to replace would have been about $100-$150 more than I spent, plus no worry of leaks. Drives really well and not hard to steer at all (not as easy as the P/S, but the P/S was a p.o.s). I am getting ready to fight the battle with the 90 vert and its rack.....Joy

I changed over years ago. Cost was $40 for a manual centerlink and idler arm.

Havent regretted it for a moment
