Re: rack and pinion

I'm just getting a red x, wouldn't mind seeing pics of this install. From what I've measured on the ty, it could be done, just wouldn't be to sure on how it would work on the street. Was thinking the rack from a canyon "might be modified to work".

I think the rack & pinion setup is done and ready to go.. It just needs to be aligned/road tested. The problem is that the rest of the truck still needs to be fabbed/assembled/tuned/etc.. Unfortunately it will probably be a few years before it hits the road...

Re: rack and pinion

Looks pretty good.. If thats a Ford R&P unit then these tie rod ends will probably work for you:

Tie Rod End Part Numbers:

ES3455 - TRW Tie Rod End.. $43.97 Advance Auto Parts
SES3455 - Tread Saver.. $18.48 Advance Auto Parts

How close is your rack to the bottom of the oil pan? Also, do you think you will be able to get away with just two U joints in your steering shaft or will you need 3 due to the angle the R&P unit is at?

It looks like you mounted the rack quite a bit further forward than the stock linkage.. Be careful that the inside of the rims don't rub the tie-rods at full lock..

Re: rack and pinion

Thank you mat for the tie rod info but I'm making my own one . it has a good distance between the oil pan and the rack the closes thing is the cross -over pipe . I will probably w have to install 3 u joint I'm still not chore.thank you. I already check and it doesn't seem like it touches the rims at full turn. thanks mat .

Re: rack and pinion

I could not make out how you attached it ?

In the last pic, between the hard brake line and the dp there is a bolt head, thats one of the attachment points. I would like to see the under side of it and how the bracket is that holds it though.

Re: rack and pinion

Need updates.

Can you please tell us what the rack came out of? It's been asked several times, but never answered.

Thanks.
