Hello guys I'm wondering if anyone has under taken this before I'm thinking of changing my wheels to 13x7 so I thinking of fitting power steering I have heard in the past that you can use a Corsair electric power steering pump? If so is there anything else you need to modify or a different steering rack?

13x7 wheels ruin wheel bearings, you'll be changing them every 6 months.

You can get a kit which uses the Corsa C steering system

itll be corsa not corsair, from the b or c depending.

 

B is easier to do, but C isnt much harder.

 

There is a bit of involved fabrication in it i would imagine, you can contact roger hicks of power steering solutions down your way if you want a conversion done, but its like £700 its the colum that gets modded not the rack. I was going to do this to my lada but reolised it was too rotten!

I've been running 13x7 wheels on my Mini for 6 years now. No problem with wheel bearings and no problem with steering, just a little difficult when parking perhaps.
