I've decided to pull on an extreme makeover starting with an EFI conversion and it has spilled over into brakes and steering. Anyway my Hboost seems to just miss the intake when inverted, however one of the hydraulic lines is going get in the way of the steering column.
In the whole process of doing the conversion I realized the power steering conversion was a very amature installation and a very leaky/sloppy box and have replaced the box and lower steering shaft. It is a telescopic shaft.
The upper shaft is also very sloppy. My question is, can I cut the upper shaft closer to the firewall and extend my lower shaft (skinnier) up there to create more room for the hydraulic line? The upper shaft feels so sloppy like it doesn't even have a lower bearing, so in the process of shortening the shaft can I put a new lower bearing further up in the shaft?
My bronco is a 72 and the steering shaft is for a manual. I plan on upgrading my account so I can post pictures tomorrow of what I am talking about.
Thanks in advance for your help!
