Hello, I just put the body back on the frame of my 57 Ranch Wagon. It has the stock Ford Factory Power Steering unit which is leaking and pretty rough. What options do I have for an aftermarket rack set up? Or should I try to rebuild the stock unit? Any advise would be appreciated.
Hey goldtele, here's the only power rack and pinion kit that I know of. If you're industrious you might could fab up your own power rack but I'm not sure what existing rack you could use. http://www.wurthitdesigns.com/ I have a '57 Ranchero that I'm working on but it has the manual steering "option". haha
Rack kits are stupid. They compromise geometry, take up way too much space, and steering linkage to the column is always a pain in the ass. These guys have been adapting 605 boxes for years http://ndgearheadscruiserproducts.com/id21.htm And borgeson has a new box for these cars as well. http://www.borgeson.com/xcart/catalog/19571962_Ford_Fairlane-orderby_0-p-1-c-127.html Donny
The borgeson box is a perfect ps box swap done several and they work very well and really not to bad of price
