Hi everyone. I'm a new member and would love some advice!! My power steering unit in my 68 leaks and needs to be rebuilt but I was hoping to find a way to tighten up the steering so I can feel the bloody road with that big block in it. the steering shop says there is nothing that can be done.

The power steering is so strong my grandma could do uturns with her pinky. Any ideas or any aftermarket units that I could use instead without tons of mods invloved? I'd love to be able to feel the road in this car with that big 440 and hemi sway bar.
HELP

Thanks,
Bobby

 

I was wondering the exact same thing a couple days ago. I have a charger, and Right now the engine is out, Im thinking about making a trip to the junk yard next saturday and seeing what I can find, I may be doing a complete suspension upgrade, we will see i guess.

Ill keep you posted on what I find.

 

Thanks

 

Hey thanks for responding. I appreciate the advice and I'll definately look into that. I had manual steering on my first 67 camaro and loved it once the car was rolling. How did you like your 70 rr with manual steering? Were there any disadvantages and would you do it again?
