I used electric hydraulic steering pump from Toyoto sports car. I do not have pictures at this time. Sorry, no reviews match your current selections. Notify me of new posts by email.

The cost for materials is only a small fraction of what a rod shop kit costs! You can do it yourself with these plans! Assembly is easy and requires no more tools than it would to mount the suspension using one of those expensive chassis shop kits.
These detailed, simple plans show you how to take the raw materials and shape them to the correct dimensions the same way the hot rod shops do it. In addition to the drawings listed below you will also receive full installation instructions as well as important information on how to choose which options will work for your car. Plans include 3D views of all parts and assemblies to make fabrication and installation easier than ever.
You do not need to know how to read blueprints to use these plans. Application: Universal fit for most Street Rods , trucks, custom cars and drag cars. Options: Fully adjustable ride height.
Locate the front wheels where you want them front to back. The plans with work with a stock or dropped spindles, as well as stock or aftermarket control arms. Coil over shocks an be used with aftermarket control arms. The drawing package includes both the plans to build the front end and a second set showing how to install the front end. All drawings are of professional quality developed using the latest in CAD computer aided design software.
The computer-drawn plans permits the proper geometry to be developed so that the suspension on your build will be the same quality that professional rod shops sell.
Simply slip the column in place, hold it into the dash recess, and reattach with the original mounting bracket. There are shims that come with the column to fill the gap as the new housing is slightly smaller then the original, even though this column is specific to this car. It includes shafting and two splined U-joints for the rack-and-pinion and column, and pins to attached it all together. The column hook-up kit is installed. The U-joints are slipped on the column and rack, and then measured for the shaft length.
It is then cut and slipped in place. As you can see, everything is supplied with the crossmember kit, even the frame boxing plates. The boxing plates are all pre-fitted to this frame, and will fit right up to it after the notching is done.
Now the fun begins. Start by installing the lower A-arms, per the instructions. You can see the spacers welded in and on the rear of the crossmember. These lower full A-arms give the suspension tremendous stability along with very smooth movement.
You will no longer use strut rods with the modern type of suspension. The upper control arms are next. These arms are also very stout and will supply good handling. The slots were the arms attached are used for the alignment, both caster and camber. The spindle is next.
Place it on the lower control arm and install the spacers and then the castle nut. Install the tie-rod ends onto the rack ends and then install them into the steering arms on the spindles. You can approximate the toe-in by centering the rack and pinion, aligning the spindles straight forward, and then adjusting the tie-rod ends so they insert into the spindles. The brake - caliper brackets are next installed onto the spindles.
The supplied Grade 8 hardware is used along with the correct spacers. These bolts must be tight! It is also highly recommended that some type of liquid thread locker be sued on these bolts. Grease up the inner and outer bearings. There are bearing packers available for this job, but some of us are just old fashioned.
Besides, this way it really looks as if your did a logt of work. Insert the inner bearing into the back side of the rotor and place the seal into its bore. Install the calipers. They just slip over the rotors into the caliper brackets. Install the special caliper mounting bolts and tighten them securely. Make sure you put the calipers on the correct sides. The bleeders will always be on the top. The brake hoses can now be installed. They will be part of the brake lines that will be re-plumbed, as all the brake lines on the car this old are rusty and need to be replaced.
The panels are precut and come with the hardware to complete the installation. The lower holds must be drilled through the inner panels into the original fender wells to allow full attachment. This really makes the installation look finished off. The new steering column to be installed is from Ididit in Tecumseh, Michigan. This comes complete and is the only way to go.
This is the final suspension installed. As you can see, the tubular arms and isc brakes will go a long way to improve this cars handling, performance, and appearance.
Maumee St Tecumseh, MI VIP Sponsors. Tighten the hardware securely Use a proper driver to install the seal. This comes complete and is the only way to go This is the final suspension installed. Hotrod MD Category:.
