For those of you who have swapped your 7A out and a 3s in. Do you still have power steering? Did you have to make some custom fittings to work, or did the fittings that come on the 3sgte engine work with USDM rack and pinion?

Just unscrew it from the steering rack and then connect the "O" ring side of the hose into the the ps pump using the large banjo bolt. Also you will have to extend the return hose in order to fit the new resevior since you will have to mount it up near the alternator. Unless you get creative and find a way to mount it near the firewall. This post has been edited by eggman40: Jan 21, 2006 - 3:30 PM |
