Thread: Power Steering Installation Question

  1. #1

    Default Power Steering Installation Question

    Fellow Zoners,

    I am going to install power steering in my Hercules M715 next week. I found a J30 Box and pump. My buddy who is going to help me with the install, has suggested installing a Universal Steering Stabilizer at the same time.

    Any recommendations and source for this Steering Stabilizer?

    Thanks!

    Would a box from a CJ fit? I have a couple of those in the shed, and this is one of the first upgrades that I am planing. Thanks

    I should think a FSJ box would be better. Mine bolted right in,with no problems at all.

    A CJ box from I think '73 on up will fit. Whenever they redid all the CJ steering in the early '70's and newer is what will fit.

    But, a FSJ box, pitman arm combination is what you really want.
    Remember if you didn't build it you can't call it yours.

    6.2 powered M715, 5 M1009's, M416, 2 M101's, 2 M105's, 3 M35's, M1007 6.5 turbo Suburban project called Cowdog.

    I think the break is:
    73 and back...no go.
    74 and up...yes!

    I had a CJ that came with the Saginaw box, Like found in the FSJ.

    If your box's have a "7" and a "6" on them that is the one you want.

    Thanks for the input. I called Sumitt and never heard back. But from a friend, I had heard they are not DOT approved and are for off-road only.
    Also, I think shipping would be a killer.
