So, what does it take to get a conversation going on this forum... I need some help from experienced Toyota folks, asked a legitimate question and have gotten nothing in return...I see less challenging questions are being answered am I missing something

 

Honestly, I can't answer the question. Both my trucks came with power assisted steering. I didn't know they came without it.

Thus, and not being a mechanic of any stripe, I can't answer.

Ask a question about what I DO know about, like replacing the head of a 22RE, or burping the cooling system after replacing the radiator, I might be of some help. Otherwise, I keep my mouth shut. Better to keep silent and be thought a fool...

I wish you the best, though...

Thanks pat... my bad I assumed there were multiple folks with different levels of experience that may have already tackled this or could direct Me to the appropriate resources... are you suggesting I should post this question elsewhere?

You need the steering box, the hoses, the pump, the cooler (a cooler), and the brackets.

Pretty sure I recall the shafts are different lengths.

Your best bet is to hit the salvage yard, a pick your own parts lot like you pull and pay if you've got more time than money will let you setup a notification when an 89-94 donor hits the lot..

Another option is to hit the lkq national database and have a salvage yard send you what you need. There are two or three salvage yards in Denver that specialize in Toyota parts from back in the day. They will charge a premium for thier services of course.


..
Regarding interchangeable years, the Toyota parts catalog is a good source.

 

Thank you!! Truly appreciate the insight
