Steering rebuild
wusup everyone, well i am going to rebuild my steering (tie rods/sleeves) im getting the tie rod kit w/ idler for power steering for my 69 coupe,but i have a question on the center link, i only find a manual version on mustangsplus. Would the manual center link work with the tie rod kit for power steering??? i just want to make sure and not be in a nudge where im going back and forth you know.
any ways any advice welcome.

RE: Steering rebuild
Is your setup already power? The center link is a non-wearing part, so replacing it is unnecessary. If you're just rebuilding your power steering, then you can just re-use your existing center link. Not sure about whether a manual center-link works with power though. Check out Ebay as well. If you still want to replace your center link, then find out whether a center link from a 67 with power steering would fit your 69, and I can sell you mine dirt-cheap (as I'm adding a flaming river r&p).
And shifty101easy - besides these items (idler arm, tie-rods, sleeves), the steering box, valve, and cylinder are the more usual culpprits in loose steering, so those may need to be replaced as well.

RE: Steering rebuild
well before it was manual, then my dad converted it to p/s but over all i checked out cal-mustang.com and they sell their steering rebuild for a lil cheaper, than mustangs plus, i just want to know if the one on cal-mustang.com is life time warranty if not im going to go with mustangsplus grab a track steering rebuild.
also i was going to convert to r&p but i hears there are alot of problems with header clearance especially when you get an adapter for it. cuz i recently took out my 347 (with 550hp) just use for only summer. right now im running a lil crappy 302 from an 82 5.0. its sucks though i cant hardly scare em with my other engine hahah anyways im just concerned if cal-mustangs does life warranty on their steering rebuild.
