Crown Vic steering boxes

**AH55** · 03-08-2013, 02:44 PM

Does anybody know the best steering box to use with a crown vic modified with a 2:1 quickener? I'm hearing that the police interceptor box is faster, but I'm hearing about different torsional bar stiffness in them and I think that plays into using a quickener. Maybe the passenger car box is better? Thanks in advance for any help.

I never noticed any difference in ratio, but the box with the 4 bolt cover is lighter.

Thanks for the help, Harley. Is the 4 bolt cover box the interceptor box? Have to start looking in scrap yards for em and need to know which car to look for.

Yeah, Tom's always been a huge help and has helped with this build as well. He suggested the 4 bolt box as well due to it being lighter, He's my next call if I can't find one on the east side. Thanks for the help.

Andy, thanks alot for the tip. I've never even heard of Lares..went to their site and its pretty interesting. I'll be giving them a call on monday. Looks like the 4 bolt box is the good one. Thanks again for the help guys.
