Guest emry13 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 So I just got a 79 280zx base model and Im looking to put power steering into it if possible. I would like to know what parts I will need for this project and whether this is the kind of thing an amateur mechanic should take on or should I maybe try to explain the project to a qualified mechanic? p.s. If anyone knows a good way to install a new audio receiver where the stock radio is, I would be much obliged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger280zx Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 You pretty much need every thing. The power rack and pinion uses a different crossmember and I believe different tie rods. Getting the rack and crossmember off is kind of a pain but it all comes off in one piece. Then just remove the pump and lines and I think you're done. Double check the steering shaft though, because I'm not sure if they're identical. Also, if you decide to do the swap I have some of the parts I would trade for the non-power rack and pinion with crossmember. Good luck!
