1958-64 Cheby Small Block V-8 Rack & Pinion Installation

11:36 PM by onesecond ·
Finally a solution for that lack luster steering in your 1958-1964 Late Great Chevy. Unisteer Performance Products has designed a bolt in rack & pinion kit that when installed will make your Chevy handle like it’s on a set of rails. The kits use a power rack & pinion unit from a Citation and will replace all the original steering linkage components. These kits are designed to be used with original style steering shaft, ididit steering with column or floor shift. The rack & pinion unit mounts to a gloss black powder coated crossmember that bolt’s to the frame using the original holes for the steering box and idler arm. Each kit includes the rack & pinion unit, crossmember, outer tie rod ends, U-joints and coupler shaft, a GM Type II pump and pulley and steel braided hoses, all you need is the power steering fluid. Best of all there is a lifetime warranty on the rack & pinion portion of these kits.

Whether the car had power steering or manual steering the steering linkage on a 1958 to 64 consisted of a steering box on the driver’s side of the frame, an idler arm on the passenger side of the frame and a center link and tie rod ends that tied it all together.
A shaft with couplers on each end connects the steering box to the steering column. All of these components will be removed to install the new state of the arts rack & pinion system.
