Applications/Provisions
This rack & pinion kit is designed for the B Body Mopars. This instruction sheet is laid out for the
B Body Mopars only. These kits are for use in cars with big block, and small block motors with
stock suspension. As far as exhaust is concerned stock manifolds and TTI headers will work with
this kit. We recommend TTI part # 383-178. Other headers may work but are not guaranteed to
work with this kit.
A new Power Steering Pump kit is provided with this kit; the use of this pump kit is necessary to
ensure that the rack & pinion performs optimally. This kit also includes a new shaft kit to work
with the stock column of these cars.
Disassembly
The easiest way to install this kit is to have the car on a lift or at least on jack stands. There is no
need to have the front wheels off of the ground. In fact, if you do not lift the wheels off of the
ground the alignment should not be affected by the installation.
Take a minute to familiarize yourself with the stock steering components of your car:
1. Detach the steering coupler from the steering box. A roll-pin holds the coupler to the steering
box, remove this roll pin to detach the steering box from the column linkage.
2. Unbolt the outer tie-rod ends from the steering arms and remove the outer tie-rods.
3. Unbolt the idler arm from the passenger side of the vehicle.
4. Unbolt the steering box from the frame; the entire stock steering set up should pull freely out
of the vehicle.
