Thread: 101 Power Steering

Ok, so I went to a Nissan Wreckers today and found the box in question. The Patrol one shown earlier is indeed wrong - it swings the wrong way, but there is a box that works the right way.

There seems to be a couple of variants of it, so still have a bit more research to do. The pitman arm length on the one I looked at seemed a tad short, but the earlier version has a longer pitman arm.

Ron - you wouldn't know the length of the pitman arm in those photos by any chance?

This is what I found - $120 for a good second hand unit. Looks almost identical to the pic Ron posted, but as mentioned, the pitman arm looks a bit short. Still got to do some work on that one.

So if the input shaft is turned clockwise what direction does the output shaft (pitman) turn.

Turning the input clockwise is making a RH turn. Looking from underneath the car at the pitman arm (pitman arm faces the back of the vehicle), it will be moving clockwise pulling the steering rod from left to right.
