Upgrade the steering performance of your classic 1965-66 Mustang with the Power Rack and Pinion Steering Kit. This innovative kit significantly enhances steering precision and handling compared to the original steering box. Designed for small block engines (289-351W), this center take-off style rack and pinion system utilizes an offset ball center bar that replicates the stock center link, ensuring that the rack maintains the original front suspension geometry. This effectively eliminates bump steer, delivering exceptional handling characteristics.
Key Features:
- Optimized Design: The rack is mounted on a one-piece bracket that replaces the tubular cross member behind the front suspension. This setup offsets the rack, positioning the pinion closer to the driver-side frame for easier connection of the steering linkage to the column.
- Compatibility: Specifically designed for small block Mustangs, this kit has been tested successfully with stock manifolds and Hooker Super Comp headers. Tri-Y headers are also compatible with 289 and 302 engines. Please note that a mini starter is required, and modifications may be necessary for Mustangs equipped with Dart Heads or other aftermarket heads.
Important Considerations:
- Early Mustangs have slight variations, especially after mid-1967, so ensure the correct kit is selected. Additionally, while later model Mustangs and Cougars may appear similar, they are not interchangeable; refer to dedicated Cougar Rack & Pinion Kits for those models.
