Help................

This is not about Your pproject, but I hope to meet People who know a lot about 4X4conversions.I live in NORWAY, and own a 2000 Ford Econoline Commercial Cutaway E450 Super Duty 158" WB DRW,VIN:1FDXE 45S 3YHA 80341., With a Fleetwood Tioge Motorhome. SALEM KROGER(NOT IN BUSSINES ANYMORE) did a 4X4 Conversion on the vehicle, but there is no documentation of used parts.Need to replace steering parts, but do not find parts that fit.Have contacted several Companies that do Conversions - With Pictures -but no replay.Anyone who can help?Do not want to scrap a fantastic motorhome.

Good suggestion on posting pictures of the components, I second that there are some smart guys on here that may be able to help you. You may also want to try the Sportsmobile forum to see if anyone there is familiar with that 4x4 conversion (Salem Kroger). Most of the traffic there is 4x4.

Craig, formerly from Salem Kroger ow owns WhiteFeather conversions. But is hard to reach and difficult to keep correspondence going. But, may be worth a try.

^^Very, very true----that site is more 4X4 vans than the traditional 2 wheel drive we deal with here. Salem-Kroger is well known there, several members very familiar with them in fact.

Welcome to FTE---this is a great resource for a lot of things Ford truck related, when used in conjunction with Sportsmobile you'll be pleasantly surprised by the information available for the asking!

I have a Quigley 4 x 4. When I bought it,I was given the package that Quigley supplied with their conversions.It lists all the parts that were used that were stock and non-stock Ford parts, with diagrams. Perhaps Salem-Kroger did the same and someone has one to reproduce.

You did not say what your steering issues so on the off chance it is all about wandering at highway speeds here is a good 4x4 link to read.
