There are several people that have done this in one fashion or another and wrote about it. FM has the basic instructions. The one thing FM doesn't do, that I will be doing is having my input shaft welded.

whats the advantage there?

 

amazing steering feel. less weight.

 

AND, no power steering pump in the way of your future awesome sauce turbo that you are still dreaming about.

 

No what's the advantage of welding the input shaft that fm doesn't?

 

The way a few folks have described is a more direct response. The input shaft has a spring and a little give to work with the power steering. When depowering and looking for instant turn in, you weld the shaft. Otherwise, as I understand, you will have a small amount of play and or delay.

I'm still waiting on my spare rack to begin this work or I would have better information.

 

yep, Adam pretty much explained it all. We have a how-to on welding the input shaft btw. its by Ari, one of our sponsored drivers.

 

well, i'm glad i have a parts car. one day i'll start playing.
