HOW IT FITS:
For this Pontiac we used a Front Steer, center take off style rack and pinion made to match the original center-link of these cars. The rack and pinion match the stock front suspension – great handling and responsiveness – no bump steer! The rack comes mounted to a one-piece bracket which bolts up to the same factory holes on the frame that held the steering box and idler arm.

Unisteer did its first install on a 455 and we used Dynomax Headers (their Part #86104.) Other headers may work but may need modification. Everything is included in the kit: a pump with clip on reservoir is matched to the rack and pinion. Single V-Groove pulley is standard, Serpentine is available. The shaft kit includes 3 U-Joints, shafts, a support bearing, and bracket to connect the factory column with the rack.
