power assist to single I beam
Posted: October 3, 2006, 9:14 pm
I have just finished puting 70 mustang power assist steering on my 62 Unibody .I had a machinist friend make a new drag link to accept the control valve and made a bracket bolted to the axle/spring U bolt to hold the fixed end of the ram. The other end is attatched to the tie rod.The pump came from a 78 or 79 F150. All rather generic Ford stuff.The valve and ram are in "as they came off the car"condition,but don't leak .
My problem is that it seems easier to turn the wheels right than left while the truck is stationary. There is also some chattering/steering wheel shake when turning the wheel right quickly.I have not driven down the road yet and am hoping some Ford guy will have some ideas. Thanks.
