1970-77 Maverick Power Rack & Pinion Kit

Rack and Pinion - Power - 1970-77 Maverick - 289-351W - 8012260-01

 
SKU: 8012260-01

Unisteer used a rear steer center take-off style rack and pinion for this kit. Though similar to the Mustang and Cougar kits, the rack is made for the frame and suspension of the Mavericks specifically. The one piece bracket replaces the stock tube cross member between the two frame rails; stronger and stiffer than the original.


This kit works on Mavericks with small block motors. We have done installs using stock manifolds and Hooker Super Comp Headers (their Part #6901-HKR). Other headers may work but might need modification. Use of a mini starter is required with this kit.


The kit is complete with everything you need for an install on a small block except for the headers! The kit includes the rack & bracket, mounting hardware, column bearing and hardware to modify the factory column, pump kit, shaft kit and outer ends. The pump kit includes a TC type II pump matched to the gear, mounting brackets, single V-groove pulley, clip-on reservoir and stainless lines. The shaft kit consists of two U-joints and a section of shaft
