Installation
1. Remove existing steering components.
Decide what steering column you will use with this kit. Our kit will work with all, but if you are planning on using the stock
column you will need to do the following:
Make a mark on the steering column, approximately 1.5” down from the firewall. Remove all fasteners that hold the
column to the dash and floor, and remove steering wheel. Unbolt steering box, and the tie rod going from the pitman arm,
and pull steering column, and steering box out of your car. Loosen the clamp on the bottom of the steering column, and
the woodruff key that holds the steering wheel on. The column tube should now be able to slide off the steering box shaft.
Cut the steering column tube where the previous mark was made. Slide the column tube back on the steering box shaft,
then cut the steering box shaft, about an inch below the column tube.
NOTE: You will have to make a nylon bushing inside the end of the column, and fabricate a floor mount.
Reinstall the column. Remove the steering box mounting plate from the frame by grinding off the rivets that
hold it on. Clean the frame holes with a drill.
2. Install rack and pinion
Insert new rack bracket into the frame where the factory bracket was. Bolt the bracket on to the frame with the bolts
provided. Make sure the front wheels are completely straight, and the rack is in its center position (pinion shaft has a
center mark when you receive it). Put your tie rod in the new tie rod tube coming out the rack. Adjust the tube until the
length is correct and insert tie rod into your steering arm. Adjust toe if needed, and tighten all nuts. Run linkage from the
Cross Steer pinion (9/16”, 26 spline) up to your column, should take only two U-Joints and a section of shaft.
