johnny.race Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Does anyone know (for sure) if the LN56 (mid 80's ... 84 to 88) 2WD ute ever came out with power steering? Ever seen or owned one? Talking 2WD not 4WD. Ta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MACKAZ Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 I had an 88 petrol, no power steer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighLUX Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Dont think so, even my fancy SR5 YN57 didnt come with P/S Surf power steering box with a mod to the bolt holes on the chassis is one option 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny.race Posted September 22, 2019 Author Share Posted September 22, 2019 Yeah, its a lot of work though. The same thing has to happen on the other side of the chassis also - for the idler arm. I did it the way seen in the pic the last time I did it but wondered if there was something easier. I've mucked around with a heap of Hilux 2WD chassis stuff from the 80's but have never come across a pwr steer 56/57. I shoulda used a LN85 from the get go. They all look the same but they are not. This one above is a 56 with a 85 front clip grafted on. The join is under the engine plate mount with the fish plates acting as plate mount reinforcement/locating tang also. I have another one to do but this one is going to be street driven so was looking for a factory install option as first dibs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
