Power Steering opinions

[jweb]

I'm at the point of deciding on power steering for my 64 Suburban. It has disc brakes, an LS1 engine, lowered 4/6" and an Ididit tilt column.

I'm torn between using the No Limit rack and pinion or just using the Captianfab bracket with an 80's pump.

Anyone driven both and have a preference? This will be a weekend driver and may tow a small camp trailer occasionally

I've only briefly looked into the power steering choices out there, so I can't contribute to that side of the conversation. I did just buy the Captainfab bracket with the new pitman arm, power steering gearbox, all line and fittings needed to go from the box to my LS1 power steering pump and will have about $800 in it. I haven't ordered the steering column yet, but will be using the Ididit column also. I know it can be done for cheaper but with the parts I went with, I'm right at $800. Like I said, I too am running an LS1 out of a '00 Z28.

I run a manual rack. The big difference would be turn radius. Some racks let you dial in effect.

Exactly my concern, spend $600-$800 for the gearbox style or just spend $1000 for the No Limit.

Also concerned about the pressure of the pump on the LS1 vs the manual gearbox or rack. I had some issues with this on my 51 dealing with the LS pump vs Mustang2 rack.
