1949-51 Ford Power Rack & Pinion Kit

Rack and Pinion - Power - 1949-51 Ford - Flat Head - w/Headers - 8011660

 
SKU: 8011660

Make that old shoebox handle like a dream with one of Unisteer’s bolt in rack and pinion kits. Take all the wander and play out of that thing. Let’s face it those cars are fun and cool to drive if they go straight and turn. Our kits will make you do just that!

Our kit is designed to fit in your stock Ford. It uses a one piece folded steel bracket that bolts in place where your idler arm and steering box used to be. It follows the same pivot points as your stock geometry therefor eliminating bump steer. The headers provided in the kit must be used in your install. There isn't any loss in the factory turning radius. The pump kit is matched to the rack & pinion providing the correct flow and pressure for the optimal driving experience.

Note: Granada spindles have been used on this vehicle from time to time. If you have these, let us know with the drop down menu above so we can swap out the proper outer ends. Does not work with Automatic Columns.

If you would like to purchase this kit without headers, please use part number 8012540.
