Manual Steering Conversion On My Porsche 924

Manual steering conversion on my Porsche 924 to replace the worn out power steering system. This was a conversion I had planned before I even bought the car as I am focusing on lightweight and simplicity throughout the car. This is definitely not for everyone as it does make urban driving a bit more challenging but as a sports car this is perfect! Overall this was a well made kit that installed very easy!

Nice job! Steering wheel feeling better (more oldschool) and no leaking fluid is a bonus :)

[@tangentsbhb]

Thank ya! Now if that front main seal quit leaking!

[@jefft4629]

As always, a thorough video. Thanks BJ, enjoy the curves!

[@tangentsbhb]

Glad you enjoyed Jeff!

I saw your old steering parts on facebook market place and I knew this video was coming.

[@tangentsbhb]

Nice!!

Great video! I actually just sourced an original OEM manual steering rack for my 84 944. Just finished tearing it down to regrease the rack and repaint the body. So excited to go to manual steering!

[@tangentsbhb]

Awesome! Rare find!

[@RedRoofGarage]

Wow, that's well package and assembled, Im impressed

[@tangentsbhb]

Yeah it was easy as can be!

My 944 was manual steering, very heavy to park but great at speeds above 5mph.

[@tangentsbhb]

Definitely not fun to parallel park in a hurry but great otherwise lol

That was a great mod for that car. Steering effort is mitigated by only turning when you have roll going on. None of my 1st 3 vehicles had power steering, air conditioning, or automatics. I miss the manual shift. I still have 3 with that, though.

[@tangentsbhb]

100% Most of my vehicles have been manual

[@Null7Mereel]

this things coming along! I bet that made the driving feel 10x tighter especially in the twisties

[@tangentsbhb]

It definitely did! With the old worn tie rods there was a huge dead spot in the steering making the car wander. Wasn't confidence inspiring at all!

[@Null7Mereel]

@@tangentsbhb I bet.. probably felt like driving my 67 Impala.. wheel input is more of a suggestion haha

[@iamrichrocker]

any plans for a car lift? i can relate working on floor is killer on the neck and shoulders...great job with video..

[@tangentsbhb]

I have a lift but it is very occupied actually

[@jp2246]

Yup, sounds like me, nice garage is "busy" so I'm out on the stone driveway doing my projects!

[@Null7Mereel]

another plus side of doing this, you could prob ebay that whole factory kit and get a decent chunk of money back

[@tangentsbhb]

I already sold it all. Just wanted it gone so I made someone a good deal 🤘

[@Null7Mereel]

@@tangentsbhb well that works out!
