Does anyone on here have this setup? I'm parting out a 4905 with Sheppard power steering, and the upper side to side strut rod has a designed significant bow in it to clear steering box, if down on the stops. Is this straight, instead of bowed on yours? I'm trying to decide if I need to save bowed strut for future recipient of  Sheppard steering system. Thanks.

Yes defiantly save the bowed rod. If someone buys the Sheppard power steering box they will want / need  the radius rod that clears the steering box.

Ok, from parts manual pictures, it looked like earlier non full power steering had straight cross torque rods.
