Replace the old steering in your Impala with Unisteer’s bolt in rack & pinion kit for ’65 and ’66 Impalas! No slop or wandering, precision steering made to match the factory suspension.
Similar to our earlier model Impala / Bel Air Rack, this kit uses a rear steer center take off rack & pinion. The mounting bracket consists of a one piece bracket that spans the frame rail plus an adaptor plate for the passenger side frame rail that uses the same steel rod mount that the factory used for the idler arm. (Check out our instructions for pictures!) This kit will fit with Small Block motor applications with stock manifolds or Hooker Long Tube headers. Other headers may work with modification or an extra u-joint. The kit does clear the Z-Bar and 4 Speed Linkage. This kit has not worked in Big Block applications.
