Not sure where this thread is headed. The ratio multipler box of 1.5 or 2.0 would in IMO make a power steering box WAY too fast,



I thought so too. But everyone that has driven that Hotchkis Emax Challenger loves it.

For some reason I having trouble with the math... 1.5:1 reduction on a 16:1 steering box is what resulting ratio??

10.667 or 12:1 or something else?

.. Additionally I can't believe the quickner box is really robust enough for daily driving/parking on a full size street car...



Circle track cars take a bunch of abuse. The toughness on a deal like that are the impacts on the gears. Like from potholes, curbs, etc. Well, on a circle track car they hit/brush walls at 90-100 mph.

The stock steering column bearings on our cars are nothing too HD or special. I think most of the load are at the box.
