Due to Clearance issues with my custom 4 link and coil over suspension I am not able to run a regular power steering pump on my Coyote engine. There is just not enough space to put the power steering pump where the Alternator usually goes. My 4x2 steering box is too close to the motor and would hit the Alt or PS pump. Moving the 4x2 box is not possible. Trust me
I plan on using PBH bracket to put the Alternator on the right side of the motor.
My whole front end is a very custom build and changing anything even 1/2 inch from where it is already would cause too much trouble!
So my options are either a EPS system or a electric power steering pump that I can place anywhere.
The EPS systems are great on smaller cars or non lifted trucks that weigh under 4500 lbs with regular wheels and tires. Once you add 33 inch tires I have been told he stress on the steering motor will get me into some trouble. Don't like trouble with steering.
If someone knows better please tell me.
That leaves me to a simple Electric power steering pump. I have read that the 3rd generation for the Toyota MR2 is the best pump.
Either of these options are not a very common upgrade on our broncos. I am just asking if anyone has tried either system and if so what pump or EPS system are you using.
I had build my bronco with the idea that I was installing a explorer 5.0 with a
4R70 transmission.
Then last month I went crazy and got a coyote motor with a 6R80 Transmission.
So now I have the fun time trying to figure this all out. The good thing is that it forces me to keep learning about stuff. Good for my old brain.
Any suggestion or advice would be greatly appreciated
