Upgrade Your Bronco or Classic Mopar to Power Steering with a Lares New Power Steering Gear

Looking to convert your first-gen Bronco or 1960s Mopar from manual to power steering or to replace a factory power steering box? Lares New Power Steering Gears are just the ticket. They’re brand new, not remanufactured. They’re inspected, adjusted, hydraulically tested, and filled with a high-quality grease so they’re ready to install out of the box. Lares New Power Steering Gears are backed with a limited lifetime warranty.

Steering Box for 1966-1977 Ford Bronco
Ford saw fit to equip 1966-72 Broncos with manual steering. Power steering was an option from 1973-77 and rated at six turns lock-to-lock (1973-75) or four turns lock-to-lock (1976-77). This Lares power steering box is rated at 4.75 turns lock-to-lock—tons better than the manual box and a nice compromise between highway use where you like a faster ratio and trail use where you might like a slower ratio for easier turning. It fits all first-gen Broncos.

Steering Box for 1962-72 Mopar
Mopar factory power steering gearboxes from 1966-74 had a 15.7:1 ratio (3.5 turns lock-to-lock). Manual boxes had a 20:1 ratio, guaranteeing an arm workout at low speeds. The only Mopars with a quicker ratio gearbox were 1970-71 AAR and T/A models, and your chances of finding a replacement unit from one of these cars are almost nonexistent.

This Lares power steering box is the only one on the market that requires just 2.5 turns lock-to-lock (about 12:1 ratio)—a big improvement over the factory boxes. It’s also a firm-feel box that offers much better communication between you and what your front wheels are doing.
