Re: Question about power steering conversion

Thanks for the info guys.

CaptianFab, no doubt the adapter plates are easiest for the majority of people. Since I do have the fab equipment and skills, notching the frame is not a big deal. I do have to disagree with your assestment that just adjusting your tie rods will correct things. It might allow you to get the steering to turn from stop to stop but the center link will be offset and the pivot point will not be in the correct location in relation to the suspension movement. This will create bump steer. It might not be a lot but it will still be there and with my background in steering/suspension/brakes, knowing its not right when I can make it right, just bothers me.

I wanted to double check that doing the notch method didn't create an unforeseen problem. Thanks again for the advice and making some nice parts.
