Rack & Pinions

Our early Mustang Rack Kit greatly improves the steering and handling when compared to that old steering box. This is a center take-off style rack and pinion that utilizes an offset ball center bar which duplicates the stock center link; this means that the rack matches the exact geometry of the original front suspension. Effectively eliminating bump steer, and creating great handling.

The rack comes mounted to a one piece mounting bracket which replaces the tubular cross member located directly behind the front suspension. Since the racks are center take-off style, we off set the rack on the mounting bracket; moving the pinions closer to the driver-side frame which makes connection of the steering linkage to a column as easy as possible.

From a steering standpoint, we found that the early Mustangs split mid 1967 and there were slight differences, so make sure you order the correct kit! Additionally, later model Mustangs and Cougars may look the same, but are NOT - check out our Cougar Rack & Pinion Kits.

The kit will work on Small Block cars, and have been successfully used with Stock Manifolds, and Hooker Super Comp Headers. Tri-Y Headers have worked with 289, and 302 engines. Other Headers may work, but we can't guarantee an easy install. This kit requires the use of a mini starter. This kit may require some modifications on Mustangs with Dart Heads and other Aftermarket Heads requiring different headers.

Note: Granada Spindles have been used on these cars. Please indicate this to us with the drop down menu above, so we can swap the outer ends you will need.

This kit was specifically designed to fit the Pontiac GTO / Tempest / Lemans. This is a front steer center take-off style Rack & Pinion mounted on a 5/16" plate bracket that bolts in to the same mounting holes used for the factory steering box and idler arm. The rack matches the stock suspension on these cars, replacing the original center link. The kit will clear Z-Bar and 4 Speed Linkage. It will also clear stock manifolds, or Hooker Competition Headers. Other Headers may work, but might require modifications.

Note: Pump does not work with stock air conditioning.

Note: Some aftermarket heads may have raised exhaust floors and may change your header height causing steering shaft interference, which may need modification.

On this kit we used a traditional style rear steer rack & pinion that is mounted to a one piece bracket which bolts up to the outside of either frame rail in the same holes as the original steering box and idler arms.

This kit is for rear wheel drive vehicles only, NOT 4x4s. Installs have been done on V-8s, so there should be room if using a 6 Cylinder. There is quite a bit of room for the shaft support, but some headers may require modification. A two groove pulley on your water pump is required for this kit.

Note: If using drum brake spindles order kit 8011740-01.

As with all of Unisteer's rack kits, the foundation of the Chevy II kits are rack & pinions matched to the stock suspension of these cars. This kit is designed to work with Small Block engines. The power rack and pinion is a matched GM rack manufactured to the correct dimensions. This kit comes mounted to a one piece bracket. The Bracket mounts behind the front engine mounts - slide out the original hardware and replace with the longer bolts supplied to mount up the kit.

The kits have been successfully installed on cars with stock manifolds, and Headman Headers. Otherwise, custom headers or modification to your headers will be needed. Rear sump oil pans and pickups must also be used so the rack will clear. The kits will work only with factory stock floor shift columns or aftermarket floor shift columns. Each kit includes a column bracket, firewall gasket, and column bearing, everything necessary to modify an original column. The power rack & pinion kit also includes a GM Type II pump kit with remote reservoir, single V-groove pulley, and braided stainless lines.

Steering arms are included in this kit as the racks do not have the same travel as the box and that big old pitman arm. The steering arms replace the bolt on ones on your spindles, but are shorter than the originals giving you back the turning radius.

No shaft kits are included due to the amount of variations, but we certainly can supply you with U-joints and shafting.

Note: On some aftermarket engine blocks, the deck height may be raised by 0.4". This may affect your exhaust header location.

Note: Some aftermarket cylinder heads may have a raised exhaust floor anywhere from 0.25" - 0.4" which may affect header height.

This kit was specifically designed to fit Chevy A-Body cars. This is a front steer center take off style rack & pinion mounted on a one piece bracket that bolts in the same mounting holes used for the factory steering box and idler arm. The rack matches the stock suspension on these cars replicating the original center link.

The kit clears the Z-Bar and 4 Speed Linkage. The kit has been used on both Small Block and Big Block motor cars. Stock Manifolds work with both motors and on Big Blocks, we have used Super Comp Headers while on Small Block Motors, Hooker Competition Headers have been used. Other headers may work, but may need modification.

Shaft kits are included in both small block and big block kits, and require using 3 u-joints and support bearing. Pump kits are also included; the big block motor pump kit uses a matched pump, single V-groove pulley, bracket, and remote reservoir. The small block , motor pump kit includes a matched pump, single V-groove pulley, bracket, and clip-on reservoir.

Note: Most Aftermarket Heads have raised exhaust floors by 1/4" to 1/2" which does not make clearance any easier.

Note: This kit will also bolt into a 1964-67 big block El Camino.

A special note on big block motor cars: There are several different designs, Mark IV, Mark V, and Mark VI. The original Mark IV design has a deck height of 9.8", the Mark V and Mark VI designs have a deck height of 10.2". The 0.4" difference affects clearance on these big block cars. Mark V and Mark VI designed cars will probably need header modification.

Unisteer's Power Rack kits utilize center take off style rear steer rack & pinions with a ball center which matches the original center link for these Vettes. Geometrically correct - No Bump Steer! The racks come on one piece mounting brackets which bolt on using the same factory holes for the steering box and idler arm. These kits clear the Z-Bar and 4 Speed Linkage with no problem. The kits have worked on Small Block motor cars with stock manifolds, short or long tube headers.

Pump and Shaft Kits are not included in the basic rack kits due to differences in the year break down for Vettes. We do recommend trying our pump and shaft kit, but that is up to you.

Nore: This kit will not work with 68'-82' Big Block applications.

This is a rear steer center take-off style rack and pinion with a ball center bar that exactly matches the center link of the stock suspension for the '65-'67 Ford Galaxie 500. The rack & pinion comes mounted to a one piece mounting bracket that bolts up to the frame using the same holes that held up the steering box and idler arm.

This is designed to be used with Traditional Motors found in these cars, including 428, 390, & 352 engines. This kit has been installed on vehicles with stock manifolds. Other Headers may work, but might require modification or another u-joint in the column linkage.

This kit is specific to Fairlanes only, not for other model Fords of the same year. This kit works with Small Block Motors only. Installs have been done on vehicles with the 289 & 302 motors in them. Stock manifolds should work, otherwise use Hooker Long Tube or Competition Headers. Other headers may work, but may require modification.

Two sets of outers are included to match either sized taper found on the steering arms of these cars.

Note: This kit will not work with the factory column shifter, but it will work with an aftermarket column shifter.

Similar to our earlier model Impala / Bel Air Rack, this kit uses a rear steer center take off rack & pinion. The mounting bracket consists of a one piece bracket that spans the frame rail plus an adaptor plate for the passenger side frame rail that uses the same steel rod mount that the factory used for the idler arm. (Check out our instructions for pictures!) This kit will fit with Small Block motor applications with stock manifolds or Hooker Long Tube headers. Other headers may work with modification or an extra u-joint. The kit does clear the Z-Bar and 4 Speed Linkage. This kit has not worked in Big Block applications.
