MK3 TRANSIT POWER STEERING CONVERSION

Postby spannerman0785 » Thu May 05, 2022 6:32 pm

Hi all. i have a mk3 transit (1989) Just wondering if its possible to convert it to power steering as its fitted with a steering box and not a rack? Any help would be appreciated.

You can convert it but they are like rocking horse poo to find very rare.

If your not worried about keeping it genuine there are other options for steering boxes out there if you've got the skills or cash to get it done.
