You can spend alot of money fixing it right.  How about an electric power steering system for $1,100?  You already have the quick ratio box.  Then you could also install a Shelby quick steer kit and really make it turn!

Dreams sir .. Those are some dreams .. I definitely will be doing that. I have already sown the seed here at home lol.

Till then... The cars gotta drive!! Haha ..

I have a new pump and new hoses coming with the correct bracket


Can anyone PLEASE help me with where that power steering hose bracket gets installed!!?? For the life of me I can't figure out where that should be!!? please let me know .. That will be the one thing standing between me and a working car at this point .. For now atleast.

What bracket are you referring to?  If its the one the two hoses go thru I will look later today and send you a pic

Do you have both ??

The electrical mount one .. What is that?

And the one below . The stock bracket .. The mounting screw for it .. Is that in the frame side ? Or the suspension somewhere or the engine mount?

Please let me know

My hoses were so long that, even in the hose clamp bracket, they still seemed to want to droop down too much. So I got the large electrical wire holders to hold them up by the crossmember. They are not original to the car, but were necessary to keep the hoses up a little. I only used them because the person who helped me had used them also, and they work great. The "Electrical Wire Holders" have a thick piece of rubber inside, protecting the hose.

These pictures are not of my car, but from the person, here on this site, that sent them to me. I did mine just like this however.

Hope this helps.
 

 
Funny cause I was gonna say the exact thing about mine!! They are too long!!!

Not sure if this applies to all pumps ,but I changed the hose on a car with 5.0 due to pressure hose leak. Power steering was working fine before. Now very weak or no power assist. In the process of changing the pump noticed the pistion just inside the pump was missing . found it on the floor wher I had changed the hose.

No, i don't recall having the problem. Do you have on of these on the slave cylinder. It drops the setup down a little to help avoid headers. I couldn't tell by your photos, but if you don't have one you probable need it.

Just Removing that nut.? You know what size it is.. ? May be I can get a thin nut that size and install the bracket on top of the nut and bolt that is already there then.. Not having to remove the installed setup..


Actually


I am not going to remove that bolt at all. Just get the nut off from it, and install the bracket and install the nut back. If I said bolt before , that was a mistake . I am installing the bracket on the nut side of the lower control arm spindle bolt .. Is that still going to be an issue ??


As far as the lowering bracket , I have something like that welded on to the frame .. It lowers my slave cylinder .. Actually lowers it enough that I cant use 65 small pressure hoses on it anymore, I have to use the 67-69 small hoses .. but thanks ! Yes it is installed . Still I had the return hose hitting the header . It's a low pressure hose, so I am just going to make one myself with a small metal part with fitting and insert a rubber hose with a clamp to route around and to the power steering pump.

All that say, let me know about just being able to take off the nut not the full bolt. Thanks!


By the way.. If you are garland.. Why don't you and I get together sometime !! Haha :D I live on Jupiter and Arapaho.. It's garland across the street for me

Let me know. May be you could Come by sometime , if you can.. To take a look..  you might be able to tell better haha
