power steering ra23

[Trebor]

just wondering if its possible to use the power steering rack from a 1986 TOYOTA CELICA 2.0L SX TWINCAM 16 MODEL: ST162R as there is one on ebay for sale going cheap http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....MEWA:IT&ih=007

It may be possible with massive amounts of effort and custom fabrication. There have been some detailed discussions about rack & pinion conversions in early Celicas, do a search if you want the full story - but trust me you don't want to go through all of that just to get power steering.

Might I suggest you spend some time at the gym if you can't deal with manual steering in an RA23? I have 205 tyres on mine and I don't have any dramas even at parking speeds!

i suggest you have a look at the RA23 steering setup (steering box) and then compare it to the ST162 steering setup (steering rack).

does it look like it will fit straight in?


the closest type of power steering box that will fit with mods is the MX62 cressida box.
