    Default YN57 hilux power steer conversion - how to?

    Hi guys,

    Just wanting to know, as i have a 84 YN57 hilux with boat like steering, and id like to take it to power steer when i have the new engine installed in a few weeks. My question is, will a 1991 say 22r powered hilux with power steer's steering box fit in where mine was? or is there more i need to do rather than just bolt it in? I'm aware of the HP lines etc.

    Thanks
    Blake

    go to wrecking yards - compare 84 lux with 91 lux - if steer-box in same spot then take home to test fit.

    note: expect the steer-box from the wrecker to be rooted so factor in some kind of rebuild or refushment.

    i'd just take:
    picture of front end (to see how it all sits)
    paper rubbing of bolt holes (place sheet of paper over areas it bolts up and take a 'brass rubbing' of the area using a soft lead pencil)
    tools to remove s/box


    i wouldn't bother lugging a big steering box with you.

    take a leap .... put in RNP pwr str.

    Try RA60 etc as they too ran R series motors at some stage.

    this has a commodore v6, but the rac and pinion setup into it would not be cheap i can assure you! especially if a newer lux's steering box bolts straight in!
