Power steering box replacement advise please

freemanrebel · May 14, 2021

Hello. Can someone help me identify this steering box so I can find a replacement? It doesn't appear to be factory and it doesn't look like the ones typically used aftermarket.

Any advise on replacement would be appreciated. My steering is quite loose and the box can't take any more adjustment.

That looks like the 86-89 Toyota IFS power steering box (might fit other years as well).

They are available as rebuilds if you're interested in that option:

Good call, though it looks like the unit linked to by Todd might be for the '89-'95 Toyota 4Runner/Pickup applications due to the rib on the external side of the box near the input. Regardless of the application, it looks like the same box to me and is what we swapped onto my brother's '85 Toyota when he converted it over to crossover steering from the original forward/rearward push/pull design.

When I replaced my stock manual steering to the popular 4X4X2 box,we used the frame strengthening kit from BC Broncos,works like a charm. You will want to brace the frame while your in there.;D

I had a camping trip planned and wanted to take the bronco so I just ended up using a 1990 Toyota box. I might go with the 4x4x2 at a later date.
