Power Steering pump, UGLY *ATT:BLING GURUS*
Oh my oh my, I can not get over how ugly the power steering pump is on a 5.0L....
I mean seriously what was Ford thinking putting something so hideous at the top off the engine in plain view! There must be some sort of polished cover or SOMETHING out there... |
LMAO your right,Ford engineers were not thinking!!:bleh:
|
I mean if theres nothing Ill pull it out and smash it to smithereens and convert to manual but I really don't wanna do that either!
Then I gotta buy a new rack and steering shaft!!! |
....but that doesn't sound like a bad idea either.LOL!

Didn't even know such a part existed.Nice find! |
Nice find but I have a 94-95 style, would it fit? It says up to 93....
You got one on your car? I cant even find a picture with one even installed... Most of the time they sit towards the drivers fender, but my blower bracket makes my pump lean to the opp side...!?! |

I don't have one on my 4.6l....the pump is down at the bottom of the motor....but I've got Canton tank for the PS fluid all shined up what's the pump made out of?......if it's aluminum, it'll shine up like a mirror....if it's not aluminum you could get it powder-coated to look like chrome/polished I'd try and get your paws on another one and fack around with a few options....and then when you get it to the level you want it....swap it in the car |
Thanks for the advice Tim!
I guess thats what my options are then, Ill either have to fancy up another one or just delete my power steering... I just cant believe Steeda, UPR, and all those other bling companies have not made a chrome/polished sleeve that can slide right over that ugly plastic housing....! Oh well, Thanks for the help guys :tup |

found the cover for the plastic tube man :chacha:
87-95 :tup Chrome Power Steering Reservoir Tube Cover- '87-'95 Ford Mustang |
Tim thats FABULOUS!!!!
Ill be putting this on order ASAP! You see I do, do custom fabrication for a living and for me to make like what you had made is VERY simple on my part! Im not so well on the polishing part, Ive tried many times I just don't have the touch as of what some people have. The picture you have posted of your custom cover looks very nice and clean, and the polish work is like no other!!!! I might have to make one these up, unless they started producing them... Again thanks for the help Tim :tup |

Good find. Nice cover shroud.

OK guys, i gotta question, Where can you get just the factory oem power steering pulley for a 95 GT?? ford discontinued them and i cant find one anywhere? i bent mine using the wrong kind of puller, i was trying to take it off to sandblast it. . .
|
Either a near by junk yard, or start a thread WTB Pulley.
|
Stang Illusions: There is a few chrome Power Steering/ Air Conditioning Bracket on ebay for around 100bux and there is an Aluminum Power Steering Pulley for 80bux. . . it would look F'n sweet together. . . if you get that pulley you should hook me up with your old one cuz i bent mine. . . on the hunt for a used one.
