PAS

Post by Benfraser » 09 Jun 2012 09:52 pm

Just wondering if it is at all possible to fit power steering onto a 1986 340 1.7 GL? I am right in thinking that it is not possible at all? :?

Let me take you back 4 days ---> http://www.volvo300mania.com/forum-uk/v ... 3&start=40

Are you really "not fussed about it"? Seems that you are given the repetition of the question :roll:

If you are actually fussed about it, stick "PAS" in the search box at the top and get 834 matches. Skim through them and you'll find things like:

http://www.volvo300mania.com/forum-uk/v ... AS#p140532

http://www.volvo300mania.com/forum-uk/v ... 6&p=109189

etc., etc., etc.

search is your friend bud. but to be honest, the PAS assembly is quite hard to come by, and if im honest, isnt needed. i drift and drive fine with no PAS, with a welded diff, with the heavier williams engine in. only time i really moan is when.parking, but thats really being picky. your top mount bearings ok? if the steering is heavy, might mean theyre wearing out.

OK thanks dude i am going to be drifting it so that was kind of one of my worries but it drifts fine? Also i am gonna look at my top mounts and bearings and probably get new ones when i order my suspension

Thanks, Ben..

Thats sick! Where abouts is that? Is it just a massive roundabout? Also is that just a standard 1.7 engine?

Thats quite a good little spot! Never get caught lol. Did you used to have 1.7? I was just wondering how well they drift?

Cheers Mark! I used a go-pro, it uses a suction pad mount. It's a light camera, so stays on pretty well.

Ben, Yeah, the spot is great, a round-a-bout in the middle of no-where, no one is around. I used to have the 1.4 engine in it. It did drift, but pretty much only in the wet, and you had to push it hard. I didn't have it for too long with the 1.4 and drift it, just used it to drive around for a bit.

I've got a 1.7 but i am not driving it yet and i was just wondering weather it will drift well or not :/

im pretty sure a 1.7 will drift, wont be so easy but more speed and throw it in harder and it will go with with the diff welded and stiffen it up abit, i think in the wet you wouldn't have any troubles, i have a standard 1.4 340 and you can have a laugh in that in the wet if you throw it hard enough
