Unisteer rack and pinion?
 
Hi

I'm consider buying a Unisteer power rack and pinion for my Camaro -68.
Is it any good? Other alternatives?

I own one, and from what my research tells me it's by far the best kit on the market. I wont be driving my car for another year, but a friend of mine is installing one very soon on a driver and will have lots of good feedback on this unit...stay tuned!

ill have one in about 2 weeks, and the car will be up and running in late winter. I live by the credo drive it like you stole it, so if theres anything wrong with it ill be the first to know haha, seems like a solid unit though and the lesser of all the other evils: steeroids (binding universals) flaming river (heavy as hell)

I put one on last summer and love it!!! I cant beleve how much more prescise the car is. Yes I too drive it like I stole it and them some. I did have to add another Borgsen joint to clear my headers but that was no big deal. I will tell you though dont try to install it unless you have a lift or the fron clip off with the engine removed as it took us about a day and it was nice being able to stand under the car. If you want any other info just post and I will answer your questions.

Thanx Mike :thumbsup:
I think the Unisteer unit will be the solution to my steering problem.
It will take a few weeks until i order one so if you have some more
input feel free to let me and everyone else know...
Thanx again

why do you say a lift is needed? do you think it can be installed w/o a lift?

If you get the car up in the air enough on jack stands yes but you will be on you back for a long time. Its a easy install but it takes some time. you have to remove ALL of the old steering parts and they take some time. Then you have to fit the Rack and hoses, test for leaks. You will also have to mount the stabilizer(for the life of me I cant think of the right name for the part now) but its a big threaded joint that slips over the new steering shaft that will lock it from moving or flopping around. I made a plate and welded it to the sub frame, then drilled it out and mounted the joint to it. Its a pretty involved setup but well worth it.

You mean the support bearing

And thats just what ive been waiting to hear!!!
Lucky me ill have no front clip or engine in there, or suspension for that matter so it ought to be a peice of cake.
