Unisteer 1928-32 Ford Cross-Steer Rack and Pinion

Info

Notes

This cross steer rack set up is for converting an existing hot rod with Vega steering to a cross steer rack and pinion. It is NOT a direct replacement on an original 1974 Vega. It bolts on in the same location as a Vega box on the hot rod applications and drops the rack lower so the drag link is more inline with the tie rod. It requires an extension from the input shaft to the existing column or u-joint since it is lower than the Vega box. It needs to be ordered for 5/8” heims or Ford Tie rod end for attachment to the steering arm on the passenger side of your hot rod.

This rack is designed to fit the frame widths on the 1928-32 Ford cars and vehicle weight in the 2500 pound range and is designed to work well with a spring over 4" drop axle.

• Replaces the common Vega steering box
• Has a long passenge-side tie rod that hooks up to the right spindle like a Vega-style drag link
• Rack unit is mounted on a sturdy bracket which bolts to your existing Vega box mount
• Optional steering shaft extension allows you to reuse your existing U-joints and shafts - 5/8" - 36 spline (just like Vega box)
• Has 9/16" - 26 spline (Input shaft)
• Specify 11/16" or 5/8" tie rod thread
• Outer tie rod and jam nut not included 

Note: If not using an extension shaft you will need a 9/16" - 26 spline u-joint.
