vitara powering steering
Re: vitara powering steering
Heres a couple of pics of mine. I used a Jimny steering box in the end, as the wedge i made looked like crap and was only fit for the bin .

No the standard belt is to big and the pump hits the chassis before the belt is tight. I had to chop some off the bracket so the pullys would be closer together and then bought a much smaller belt.
There is a couple of Jimny box's on ebay, i know there around £100 but thats pretty much the going rate unfortunately. Thats about what i payed for mine. Or you can get a vit one for about £10 but then you have to make a wedge and adjust your radiator bracket.

Re: vitara powering steering
so im guessing that the jimny steering box bolts straight to the chassis with no mods and the jimny pump bolts to the engine block with no mods? and does anyone know if you can get a V belt pully to fit on the power steering pump?
