- Stronger in both compression and torsion compared to the factory crossmember, the steel tubing of the rack has a 20% larger diameter than the factory brace of which it replaces

This Manual Rack and Pinion Conversion System contains a manual rack and pinion unit, column steering shaft and universal joints and tie rod adapters. Designed to maintain correct steering geometry, this system provides a positive and direct steering feel that an OEM unit just can’t compete with. Using quick ratio and straight-cut gears, this rack and pinion achieves a three turn lock-to-lock for better steering control and response.

This rack and pinion system reuses factory mounting points wherever possible as well as a mixture of mounting brackets and centerlinks to adapt to your Mustang and simplify installation. The mounting brackets and centerlinks are engine size specific to account for oil pan clearance. Once you complete installation, the straight steel tubing of the rack replaces the factory crossmember.

Please Note: Hooker Super Competition long tube headers are NOT recommended for use with this Rack and Pinion Conversion. These headers will not clear the Rack and Pinion due to the longer length primary tubes and will cause fitment issues.
