Applications/Provisions

This rack and pinion kit is designed specifically for 1967-69 Camaro (NOT Firebird) & 1968-74
Nova’s. The kit is compatible with both big block and small block Chevy motors.

This kit requires installing a new steering shaft between the steering column, and the rack and pinion.
The steering shaft is also available through Unisteer Performance Products, but you will need to
provide us with the year, engine type, and if your using a stock column. If you are using an
aftermarket column, state what brand. Big Block Chevy engines are limited to using certain shape
headers, or stock manifolds.

For small block vehicles we used Hooker Long Tube Competition Headers in our R&D. These
required no modification however we do not guarantee these to fit every car because of variances
between vehicles. All other headers may require modification to fit including Super Competition
Headers. We recommend coating your header of choice after the complete kit is installed and all
modifications complete.

Disassembly

In order to perform this installation the front end of the car must be off the ground. A lift works best,
but jack stands will work. No special tools are required, but a bottle jack should be used to help
relieve spring pressure on the control arm. 1) Remove wheels, and brakes, so you’re down to bare
spindle. There is no need to disconnect the caliper though. 2) Remove the bolt holding the steering
coupler to the steering box. 3) Remove the two bolts holding the idler arm, and the three bolts holding
the steering box. The entire steering linkage should now be free to be removed from the car.

This kit will arrive to you pre-assembled and centered. The mounting bracket attaches to the two rear
lower control arm bolts. We provide two new longer bolts to do this. Removing the old control arm
bolts can be difficult because the tension of the coil spring. If you jack up the lower control arm using
a bottle jack or floor jack, these bolts can be removed much easier. Also inspect the bolt holes to
make sure they haven’t been elongated. This is also a good time to change the control arm bushings
if needed.
