VERY WELL WITH
OUR RACK & PINION SETUP. THE LATE

OUR RACK &
PINION CONVERSIONS.
In
an e-mail to us Kevin Grani Stated;
"
The steering was like my late model car, nice and smooth."

Check Kevin's Starliner in the Sept. '05 issue. |
Look at the article on our rack & pinions in the July '05 issue. |
For many classic Ford owners, a car that isn't up to today's driving characteristics can sometimes offset the joy of ownership. Some owners are known to comment that they "love their classic Ford, but can't stand the steering". This is the case with 57- 64 model year Fords. Our Conversions put an end to the problems associated with the out dated factory worm and sector steering boxes. No more excessive play, leaking steering rams, and exhaust manifold clearance problems associated with engine swaps (even the big 460 or the newer 4.6 overhead cam engines.) There are other steering box options (i.e. GM 605) out there to be sure, but why use a modified box of similar design when you can bolt in a modern rack and pinion with our conversion and have the steering response that modern day automobiles have. The steering ratio is 3 1/2 turns lock to lock. If the rack ever needs to be replaced you can buy one at any auto parts store. You will appreciate this if you have ever had a specialty part break while you were on a trip and the only place you could get that part was from the custom shop that made it. Our R & P mounting brackets are made from 5/16 inch steel to insure strength and eliminate any flexing in the steering system. Our goal was to make available a system that is easy to install without compromising, modifying, or altering any part of the stock factory frame. We have met that goal and now offer these Rack and Pinion conversions to you!
