Slightly longer answer (should hopefully answer most or all your questions)... The box and pump are the same for 6 and V8. The brackets for V8 and 6 are extrememly different. Make sure you get ALL the bolts and spacers,

I don't have the steering arms. Are they available to buy or is a wrecker the best option. Anyone know what they are worth?

All HQ and the HJ-WB power steering arms are about ¾" - 1" shorter in length (from front bolt to Tie-rod joint)

I have just remembered I have a set of HQ ones in the shed but I don't know if they came from a manual or power steering car. My GTS is manual steer so if they're shorter than those then they must be power steer ones. I'll

In the HJ - WB's, the manual steer cars had longer steering arms. The Power steer cars stayed with the exact same

I must admit that I still wasn't sure about the differences even after reading the previous posts. It sometimes takes a while for things to sink in!! I'm imagining that the HJ-WB manual steer cars used a longer steering a

The steering arms on all power steered HQ-WB are the same (short) item. To lighten up the steering effort, GM-H in late HJ, made the arms on the manual steer cars longer. When converting to power ste

I think I'll stick the power steering on the GTS and use your idea on the SS as it is going to be restored as completely original as I can and they weren't available with power steering. Thanks for that. Once again I know real
