Thread: Ford pickup with 2 way power steering cylinder

Tweet

I found a guy with a 76 F250 4x4 on Craigslist selling the power steering but didn't have the parts I'm looking for. He did say that it did have them parts but he didn't have them. Guess I'll call up some junks yards around here.
Thanks for your help though.

I did some researching and found out what I'm looking for is a Hydraulic steering assisted cylinder. Looks like more than what I want to get into at this time unless I get the whole system Really cheap.http://PS_linkage2

Those are more common on 4x4's when running big meats, like bigger than 40's to help with steering in the rocks, and to help eliminate road force influences to the steering, to an extent. There are articles on tapping into the steering box for line pressure. If you've got a good 4x4 shop that sets up and maintains Jeeps, buggies & trucks they might be able to help you out - like this one, maybe http://www.4x4wire.com/news/rocklogic/steer03/
