Torsion bars for stock suspension rebuild
Various reasons on the steering: The power box (well, pump) is WAY to powerful.....I don't like being able to drive with 1 finger!!!
Did Mopar make a different pump that would allow me to get increased resistance?
plus it takes so much input that it will never be quick through transition type maneuvers
Are you implying the range of motion necessary? or the amount of force (strength) needed to move it? I thought the base gear ratio was the same?
My power unit has a bit of slop in it, but it does react pretty quick, so it's good in that respect. I wouldn't mind keeping it if I can increase the feedback/resistance.
I have some time in my dads '70 340 Swinger with no power options, and I liked it. I am use to driving M35 & M109 military cargo trucks with no power steering..so this is no big deal.....
I already have a new (?) manual box in the garage, but I'm sure I can get my $$ out of it if I stay with a power unit.
