Olds F41 suspension

Olds had an optional variable ratio power steering box which was probably available on the Abody cars . Not sure when it started and stopped, year model-wise. Didn't really have anything to do with the HD Suspension as the F41 sounds like a trailer towing package.

Buick used a better ratio box on the GSX . The steering wheel was also different than a GS also.

I thought all Saginaw A-body boxes from 1970-up were variable ratio?

I think it was an option on Cutlass/442 cars but would have to check some things here. Maybe it was on all of them but I don't know 100%. I'll check some Olds info and see.
