...simply be bad alignment? Can this be from the wider front wheelbase? I thought maybe I was the problem as this was the first non-rack and pinion car I've driven but others in my local Mopar club say that's not normal and are very comfortable doing 70mph. Any help or insight would be...

...is that 90% of the "feels better" comments that come from installing a coil over conversion boil down to 3 things- the feel of the rack and pinion (which adds no performance), higher wheel rates than what was previously run on the torsion bar suspension, and better shocks. The latter two are...

It has a rack and pinion mounted in place of the standard Mopar worm and sector box. The normal struts were removed to make room and those others added to the rear. Geometry certainly is suspect! Those top bars might be the beginning of home brewed motor mounts. All can be converted back to...

Morning! Is calm and 60 ish. Will break into the 80s today. rack and pinion this morning. Maybe. I forgot to tell him. Hes not far, i can see his house from here.

Ahhh thats looking sweeet

If you know about how much weight have you saved?

...I know those cars drove differently than "newer" cars but I can't recall the feel. Flash forward through a sea of macpherson strut/rack and pinion cars and I'm just not sure what "normal" is for my 71 Demon. I'm hesitant to describe what it felt like because it may be completely normal. Up...

I've got King Coilovers on the front of my YJ and they are amazing. Click it up on the dampening and I don't even need sway bars, drop it all the way down and I'm super compliant on the trails, plus the spring selection is outstanding. Granted, I really don't need that on this build.

Welcome! You do NOT need a rack and pinion. You do not need new leaf springs. What you do need to do is thoroughly inspect your front suspension, K-frame and chassis. The steering box mounts on the K frame have been known for poor factory welding and cracks, which can allow the steering box...

...photos, do you think I need new leaf springs + shackles? Will this solve my problems on the freeway? Do I need to add sway bars? Rack and pinion? Please help. Everything in this damn city is 10 times as expensive as anywhere else so I really gotta know what I’m doing before I see my mechanic...

So I got home and got started. I’m at a stoping point till I go down to pick up a manual rack and pinion from bill on Friday. So far the install has been pretty routine. I need to pull the steering column to get the pin out of the shaft and I’ll be removing the whole suspension so I can get the...

Take a tape measure and spend a couple hours at the boneyard- I'm willing to bet that a first or second gen Dakota frame will fit the bill- there's lots of variations for wheelbase between shortbed/longbed and regular cab, extended cab and quad cab and all the combinations thereof...

Regarding steering, are you so used to rack and pinion that old steering feels sloppy?

Yeah, you've missed the point. QA1 didn't use CAP's coilover conversion or rack at all, and made some changes to their torsion bar K frame. And yes, from a fabrication standpoint CAP was crap. But if you're buying a company, a company with a few good designs (LCA's, strut rods) and bad...

...you a hint, it doesn't just move linearly. Nope. The steering ratio determines the lock to lock number of turns, that's true of rack and pinion and worm and ball and has nothing at all to do with the type of steering. The self centering effect you're talking about is caster, which is...

I like how it looks. Is there any way to tell what the connections are and what size? Whether splined, double d, smooth or what?

...side water pump/lower radiator inlet. Switched to a Jones Racing complete pulley setup to run a GM type 2 power steering pump for rack and pinion and no longer need, everything works perfect.. All these parts new with tax and shipping were around $1200. asking for less than half -...

...you need to overcome some of the angularity and direction problems you mentioned. It's got a heavily oversized universal joint at the rack and pinion and then one up near the firewall at the column output with a urethane disc joint in the middle and the lower end is equipped with a booted...

This car went to a Chassis/race shop in Easton Pa. They were making headers. They cut the down tubes out to make the headers and welded them back in. They never put the car on a fixture and the Right rear wheel 31 inch slick went flat. They welded the down tubes back in and other tubes...

It’s a lot easier with a new coil-spring front suspension and rack and pinion.

Offered for sale is my 1972 Dodge Dart. Small block Mopar powered. Details in attached build sheet photos. 1050 carb was just reworked/calibrated by Dominic Thumper. 727TF was rebuilt this past September. Car comes with 2 engines, a 360 based 383 stroker 'big' engine and a slightly milder...

You might take a look at the D24P15 forum. Lots of threads and info on disc brake swaps, rack and pinion swaps, even complete suspension swaps with Dakota front clips

...on the application. The only thing the torsion bar suspension can't do that is accomplished by a coil over conversion is add a rack and pinion steering, and free up some header space. Everything else that can be done with a coil over system can be done with a torsion bar system. The rack...

Very nice....I ended up doing some gussit work, but not as extensive as yours. I was a little leary sealing everything up. I had a trailer made of tubing that rotted from the inside out, so I am a little gun shy. Thanks for the pics.

I too have a clunk in my aftermarket front suspension, but it's play in the Rack and pinion. Haven't asked if it could be adjusted out. Not that many miles, but has been two years since install. Probably just live with it, it's just annoyingly, doesn't seem to bother the actual steering. Did...

Near future updates will be adding a 518, power rack and pinion (has manual right now) and doing some cosmetic work. Runs a 330 Hemi, 727 trans with a E body 8.75 with 3.55 SG. While up there I dropped off a 241 Hemi to my engine builder.

...for the '71 Duster that we got with no engine, transmission, front suspension and interior. We were going to install the Challenger rack and pinion front suspension, 6-speed manual transmission and the independent 3.90 rear axle under the Duster and use the Challenger seats and as much of...

Here’s what I did with my column. I went Alterkation rack and pinion and I got a good deal on a flaming river tilt column. I used the original housing, column drop and floor plate and slid the flaming river column right inside the housing. Just FIY. In the pic you can see how close the original...
