An old Thunderbird should steer as good as it looks when cruising around town! Try Unisteer’s bolt on power rack & pinion system for positive easy steering yet good road feel and handling! This bolt on system is made to match the stock suspension
on the T-birds; it will change your driving experience – No Bump Steer!
This kit is based on a rear steer center take-off style rack & pinion, as are the majority of our kits, but this one is specific to these Thunderbirds. The rack & pinion is mounted to a one piece mounting bracket which bolts to the frame using the same holes for the steering box and the idler arm on the passenger side.
The UniSteer kit was designed to go on a Thunderbird with stock suspension and 272, 292, and 312 motors. Let us know and we can modify the kit to fit popular small block motors, like the 289, 302, and 351 before shipping. Install was done on a vehicle with stock exhaust manifolds. Headers may work but might need modification.
Let your salesperson know or make the appropriate selection in the menu above to accommodate the right small block motor or an aftermarket column.
