The 40 440
So I saw this pop up in a few pics so I figure I should have a chat with you guys about it. It is a bolt on rack,and pinion from unisteer. Made for the v8 crossmember mopars. So...I don't know if there is another option for a rack, pinion kit. If there is buy that one. I would have been further ahead pulling a rack out of the junkyard since I had to remake all the brackets,and buy different u joints for the dd bar,and column anyway. The rack pointed to the front away from the column, and they wanted the steering shaft to go all the way around and over the manifolds. F'n retarded ,and it hit my pan so even if the steering shaft routing would have worked the rack itself wouldn't fit under the motor. So here's what I did with it. No not that lol.
Mounted their bracket took some measurements with the rack in place,and with it out. Then I turned it into something usable with a few cuts ,and welding. If anyone at unisteer is out there the bracket should look like the one below.
So once I painted the remade bracket,I got it all installed to look like this. With only two joints to the column,and a small chunk of dd rod.
Ya another two hour bolt on job that took all day thanks to the engineers at unisteer. By the way they still claim that the kit works,and are still selling it as a bolt on after all the bad reviews and complaints. So warning to all. Read the reviews on parts before you buy them. That's the end of my rant next time we will mount the gas tank,and do some mods to the front fenders. Thanks for checking it out.
