ADuLTVDucommon complaint about the Fox chassis Mustangs in high performanceDuLTVDudriving situations is the over-assisted stock power steering system.DuLTVDuThe high assist level of the stock system makes the steering feelDuLTVDuextremely light, and reduces the usable feedback to the driver. ThisDuLTVDulight feel causes the driver to turn the steering wheel much more thanDuLTVDuintended, which leads to a lack of driving smoothness.
This MMDuLTVDukit greatly improves the steering feel by reducing the amount of powerDuLTVDuassist. Steering effort is increased just enough to provide goodDuLTVDufeedback to the driver. The MM kit optimizes the pumps outputDuLTVDupressure, without reducing the output volume, by having a largerDuLTVDupressure regulator shunt path than does the stock pump. Home-brewedDuLTVDuefforts to improve steering feel by using larger pulleys or restrictorDuLTVDuorifices can cause a sudden loss of steering assist during rapidDuLTVDumovements of the steering wheel, a potentially dangerous situation.DuLTVDuBecause the MM pump maintains the proper output volume, the level ofDuLTVDupower assist remains constant, regardless of how rapidly the steeringDuLTVDuwheel is turned.
DuLTVDuThe pump in this MM kit requires less engine power to operate than theDuLTVDustock power steering pump, freeing up horsepower for quickerDuLTVDuacceleration. It can be run at over 7,000 RPM for extended periods ofDuLTVDutime without overheating the power steering fluid. Install this kit andDuLTVDuput an end to the problems caused by the stock pump: Over-assisted andDuLTVDuimprecise steering, fluid spewing because of fluid overheating, andDuLTVDuthat annoying whine! The reduced pressure of this pump also reduces theDuLTVDulikelihood of blowing out steering rack seals. Except for theDuLTVDuserpentine belt, the MM kit includes everything needed forDuLTVDuinstallation: High-performance pump, a pump mounting bracket designedDuLTVDuspecifically by MM for the Mustang 5.0 engine, a fluid reservoir, aDuLTVDularge fluid cooler, all necessary hardware, and all hoses and fittings.DuLTVDuDoes not reuse any OEM hoses. The MM kit converts the pumps inlet andDuLTVDuoutlet fittings, as well as the steering racks inlet and outletDuLTVDufittings, to easily serviceable AN fittings and hoses.
DuLTVDuThe level of steering assist can be adjusted to suit personalDuLTVDupreferences by changing the outlet restrictors on the pump. This can beDuLTVDudone with the addition of the Restrictor Valve kit, part number ST-71.
