'74 Ghia - Sloppy steering
Posted: Fri Jun 01, 2018 7:17 am
Good morning All,
New to the Forum as well as Ghias. Recently picked up a gorgeous 74 Ghia. Previous owner almost completely restored the vehicle which included, among other things, a fuel injected1900cc plant and a new 4 spd tranny. The only thing we would like to improve upon would be the steering and suspension which, to us, doesn't feel as tight as we'd like it to be. It could really do with some firming up - possibly a different steering box with a tighter gear ratio, gas charged or coil over shocks, etc. As it sits right now, it really feels like a '74.
Also, is it possible/does anybody make a rack and pinion setup for this vehicle? Thanks in advance for any insights/wisdom here.
