Another rack & pinion question.

[Shakin66]

I am seriously considering this kit but would like to hear from you guys as to what kit you are using and all the Pro & Cons. I have headers and a serp. belt bracket that has a mount for a 1977 style power steering pump. I have changed the steering wheel to a smaller one, have a detroit locker and the tires are 225's so its a bugger to steer.

I believe these are getting good reviews on the VMF. The initial kit was a manual kit which did not get good reviews, these seem to be much improved. You might wanna check it out over there.

I am using a Steeroids kit on my car. the car tracks great and is very sure feeling. A stricking contrast to what all my old mustangs in the past have been like. The downside is the turning radius has been reduced. You can't take a last second turn into a parking space. It now requires a little more planning. I am using a pump from a fox mustang without any adverse problems to date. My combo did require me to make some custom hoses for it all to work.

I would put on a power rack again without thinking twice.

I'm not using the Steeroids kit, but I am using the same GM J car rack and fox pump, so other than that, what he said

I'm going with Randall's R&P.

It's very similar to Steeroids. I prefer to have the tie-rod ends, not the Heim joints used by Steeroids. Both have pros/cons.

I chose Randall's because I wanted 3.0:1 steering rather than 2.5:1
Also, Randall's kit includes more adapters, while Steeroid requires a little more fabricating.

These guys sell the Randall's kit, and can make the hose for a FOX style pump for a few more bucks.

Can't say about the Steeroids, but the Randall's Rack will loose some turning radius. The Unisteer conversion Is another "J" car adaptation, it however doesn't loose turning radius and it costs about $300 less(w/pump) than the R's Rack. Quality is very high.
Yeah, I like mine!

What I want ideally is a tighter ratio and a wouldnt want to lose any radius either.
