i have a 67 lesabre 4dr that has real sloppy steering. I want to tighten it up some how, maybe change the steering box? What can i do. When i got the car, about 4 yrs ago, i had all the tie rods, control arms and linkage re-bushed with the OEM stuff, if that makes any difference. Thanks Rick
These guys can convert your original steering box to the modern fast-ratio internals. http://www.powersteering.com I have the same problem with my 67 Olds 88 and will be swapping in a fast-ratio box this summer. The ratio on these old GM big cars was just terribly slow. Combined with a huge steering wheel, it makes for really sloppy handling.
You can go multiple routes. I am in the process of putting in quick ratio steering box from a late 80's Monte Carlo SS. Tom Lee sells a conversion kit for the hoses and a new rag joint to make it work on the older steering shafts. The inexpensive DIY way to go, you can also go with a Grand Cherokee box. If you want to buy new with everything all ready to go, look up AGR boxes or LEE boxes. Tom
is it a relitivley easy install or is it messy with all the fluid? is it an easy swap? what year grand cherokee? i can probably find a new one on summit or jegs im assuming
