Title: Fiat Argenta Steering Parts
Post by: Fiat Nut on November 09, 2009, 12:50:10 AM
Hi, I am looking for a full set of steering parts for an Argenta RHD - Box, Idler and Pump etc.  Would anyone out there have them stashed away or still on an old body? - Thanks :)

I have the power steering pump from 131 supermirafiori mk3 which will be the same as your argenta.

Graeme, pictures of pump for you, this has sat in a draw in the shed for 15 years or so but it still had some fluid in it, turned the pulley and it works fine. David

correct me if i'm wrong, but the steering "head" (rack and pinion or whatever it's called) is not the same for LHD and RHD cars?

djape, as you say 132 is steering box not rack & pinion but this is just the power steering pump which on all the 2000 ones I have seen is the same, not sure on earlier 132s so couldnt comment.

pump is the same as far as i know, but steering box (thanx) is probably different for LHD and RHD. i have several steering boxes for LHD cars

You're right, the 132/Argenta was a worm & roller system, as far as I can tell the 132 2000 introduced in 1977 came with the power steering version - the 1600's & 1800's prior were not.  The steering box and idler are handed (pity about that djape1977!).  The pump from David is universal.
