[tk1218]

Wondering if anyone has an opinion on the best power steering conversion for an EB

criteria below

Cost effective
Parts from an vendors to include steering box, pump, hoses and shafts
Improves feel of stock manual or power steering
Would want part numbers if possible

Thanks

Looking for the best street feel

4x4x2 or a stock box with a Saginaw pump from napa. Wh has lines and pump bracket or you can get stuff from summit or Earl's to make the lines.

Does it have to bolt on or are you willing to do some fab work to attach it?

 

[tk1218]

Would prefer to just bolt on, but could do minor fab

I tried the xterra swap and the box worked good, just leaked too much

 

[Broncobowsher]

The Xterra box is usually a dry box. I would guess you just got a bad box. Since you are already setup for it, I would just try another one.

Xterra boxes are cheap at the yards...I'd get a good one or a rebuilt kit for the one you have and be done with it.

As far as feel driving it mine felt alot nicer after swapping to a tie-rod over set up. I also swapped to a beefier set up while doing it.
