So, is there a fair amount of flex at the bottom of the steering shaft w/ o that thing?
Simple answer is "Yes"

How is that determined?
Would you get a data logging device, attach it on the bottom of the shaft measuring deflection off center axis / relative to the rest of the car while driving aggressively?
.
I wanted to know if anyone has tried the steering brace on ram truck. I have 2010 ram 2500 and wondered if this is a worthwhile up grade?
Lol!,good luck!

Simple empirical evidence. Have a friend jump in and saw back and forth on the steering wheel. You'll see it move, top side or bottom. I have my reservations about this brace, but my FF K-frame made huge strides in keeping everything solid.

you could do something like that. but i would say it is from years off experience wering out lower sector shaft bearings prematurely. have someone turn your steering wheel back and forth with the car off while you watch the box underneath the car,you will see the flex.
Thanks for info I think I give iy a try and see how it does:blob:i have one of those braces on my '98 2500 ram,i think it helps. for sure over the long haul.

it was sunny out today so i went to my friends house about an hour away to help him with something. when we got done with his stuff we went out on some curvy roads to try to test it out a little. i think it helped some,but the best test will be on the autocross when it is really being pushed to the limit. the fact that my p/s pump is fried didn't help matters much,so i didn't want to push my luck too much in case i lost it. p/s pump repair will be next week i hope. anybody know who makes a kick *** p/s pump? i have a g/m saginaw pump.
The factory Saginaw pumps should be fine I was told to drill out the oriface hole at the pressure inlet 1/64" greater than it is stock. I never had issues.
The trick pump is the modern sagnaw pump with the aluminum housing and remote or plastic resivour. You see them in the Circle Track supply places like Speedway Motors.
got a link to this pump? im trying to find a really good pump for my RMS power rack and pinion, and hydroboost system...
ive been lookin at the KRC aluminum power steering pump...

If you do order the sanderson headers could you post pictures of the install and comment on how good or bad they fit. I have been thinking of ordering a set also but was hoping to get some feedback first. Thanks Bobby
i have been planning something like that for a while. i wan't to move my battery to the trunk and then have a custom tank made and run a cooler. does the "modern" pump bolt up the same as the older style saginaw?
There is a Mopar bracket kit but IIRC, it just fits a Magnum block? Something about it that one bolt will not fit an old LA style block.
I installed one of these in the Fall. It tightened up the steering. You get better response. At high speeds the car just feels more stable. Combined with Firm Feel upper control arms and Stage III steering box the car feels like it has rack and pinion steering. I would recommend it if you like the turns.
i have a saginaw pump now and i used bouchillon mounts to mount it. i have a magnum crate motor. that the ones you are talking about?
