58 Steering Box & Pump Rebuild Kits?



Hi Kerry, you're wrong ! The Coaxial power steering was used on
'57 models (and perhaps before but itsn't the same housing) but
the '58 used the Constant Control power steering (except some
earlier '58 models which have the Coaxial). The Constant Control
was used until 64 on some MoPar.
The Coaxial has a very long housing which protudes below the
dash. That explains why ther's a removable plate on the floor:
you couldn't remove the steering assembly without removing the
plate ! You "extract" the steering from inside the car. The plate
remains on '58 but you could remove the Constant Control steering
from under the car.

The '58 Constant Control has a round "bell" cover at the top
where you find the adjusting screw, the '57 Coaxial has a square
cover for the adj. screw.
