    I'm rebuilding my 1965 Galaxie Ford integral power steering box for the second time since I messed it up the first time; forgot a ball and had stiff steering issues. I had originally trashed my input shaft bearing thinking, "I'll just buy a new replacement!" but now I can't find on AT ALL. I did...

    Hey everyone, Looking for some advice on what size steering wheel I should get? Currently I have a 14"', which makes it extremely difficult to maneuver at slow speeds. Would 15" be good enough, or perhaps go with a 16". Thanks in advance for your help!

    Steering went out on my '62 Ranchero. I thought it was the gear box and proceeded to attempt to remove the box. After much wrenching (and swearing and crying) and googling, I learned that the gear box and steering column are all one piece. Okay, so now I've got the steering wheel off, the...

    I'm in the middle of doing the oft-recommended swap to all 65 V8 Manual steering parts on my '64 Falcon. I thought I'd be able to use my outer tie rod end and adjusters to connect to the new inners I just bought. NOPE. See below. Top is the old setup, bottom is the new setup. Specifically...

    How do I get the white plastic piece (on the left side) out of the steering column for access to the bearing? My steering crunches when I turn the wheel and I'd like to clean out that contact.

    Hey Guys and Gals. I have a question to put to you all. My daughter has a 1961 Galaxie - 352, 3-speed overdrive, manual steering - that we are having a devil of a time trying to get to steer correctly. The only thing that we haven't done is replace the center link. The pitman arm end of the...

    What's up folks, I'm looking for a little help on fixing my Power Steering in my '63 Fastback. Long story short, a while back the steering started to get noisy (doesn't sound like grinding, more like a moaning/hissing) and very muddy/tough to turn. I checked belts and fluid levels - belts are...

    I know it's one piece with the box. I'm rebuilding my box, so I'm taking it all apart. Got the box out (that was fun...), got the sector shaft out, and per the manual the next thing to do is remove the "steering shaft bearing adjuster and cup", then pull the steering shaft and ball nut out...

    This is on '64 I-6 manual steering, looks like this: I'm freshening up my steering bits, so I picked up a new idler arm and idler arm bushing. I assumed the bushing somehow fit inside the fat section of the idler arm, but nope: it's just a rod end/ball joint: So, where does the idler arm...
