bluoval 11 Report post Posted February 12, 2018 (edited) Hey Everybody! I'm wanting to swap out old power steering for rack and pinion - manual. Cruizing around on the interweb and saw a posting on 'our' site here that looked promising, but the page is not accessible. I know there are a few posts about this topic, but I thought I would try a new post to get updated info. Here is a copy of the link https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjypsHEpZnQAhUHVyYKHQ2CDqsQFggbMAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.1969stang.com%2Farticles%2Frack.html&usg=AFQjCNGosLNAI2MNp-nZd246vy-2qlcKqA&sig2=U2HlXvBFzSjrcrBPqYsR8w&bvm=bv.137904068,d.eWE I have heard people talking about using PS rack converted to manual from a Cavalier. Any help is greatly appreciated! Blessings, dr Edited February 12, 2018 by bluoval added small detail Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bluoval 11 Report post Posted February 15, 2018 Hey Reaper69, Thanks for the info! I have been looking over the different vendors and I think it makes more sense to get a new set up that is basically a bolt in project vs. trying to retro fit a unit from a Cavalier! I don't know that I need steroids though, I'm already in pretty decent shape! ;) 1 RPM reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kyle T 19 Report post Posted February 15, 2018 I went with the power rack by Unisteer. It was the single best improvement I have ever done to the car in terms of making it more more fun to cruise around in. Very easy to install too. Only a little grinding. Some will be quick to let you know that the rack will reduce your turning radius but I'm here to tell you that it still turns a lot sharper than my new F150! Now that thing is annoying in parking lots. Kyle T 1 SM69Mach reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluoval 11 Report post Posted February 16, 2018 Thanks for the input. I was looking at the TCP setup. I like the fact that its pretty stout and serves as a replacement for the cross member. I have a 7 qt Moroso oil pan, do you know if there are any setups that definitely won't work with that? I may also have some clearance issues after lowering the front end.
