Upgrade your classic Mustang's steering and handling with the innovative Rack and Pinion Power Steering Kit designed specifically for Late 1967-70 models equipped with 289-351W engines. This comprehensive kit replaces the outdated steering box with a state-of-the-art center take-off style rack and pinion system, ensuring precise steering performance and exceptional handling characteristics.
Key Features:
- Improved Steering Geometry: The rack utilizes an offset ball center bar that mirrors the stock center link geometry, effectively eliminating bump steer and enhancing overall driving stability.
- One-Piece Mounting Bracket: The rack comes pre-mounted on a durable one-piece bracket that replaces the tubular cross member located behind the front suspension, simplifying installation.
- Optimized Pinion Placement: The mounting bracket offsets the rack, positioning the pinion closer to the driver-side frame for easy connection to the steering column, reducing installation complexity.
- Compatibility with Small Block Engines: This kit is designed for small block applications and has been successfully tested with stock manifolds and Hooker Super Comp headers. While other headers may fit, an easy installation is not guaranteed.
- Mini Starter Requirement: The kit necessitates the use of a mini starter to ensure proper fitment within the engine bay.
- Custom Modifications for Aftermarket Heads: Some modifications may be needed for Mustangs equipped with Dart heads or other aftermarket heads that require different header configurations.

Note: Ensure compatibility by confirming your Mustang's model year and engine type, as mid-1967 saw variations in steering components. This kit is not designed for late model Mustangs or Cougars, so refer to specific Cougar Rack & Pinion Kits for those applications. For vehicles with a 351 Cleveland motor, Headman headers are required for optimal fitment.
Transform your driving experience with the Rack and Pinion Power Steering Kit, combining modern engineering with the classic styling of the Late 1967-70 Mustang for enhanced performance and handling.
