Steeroids 83037-250 Manual Rack And Pinion Kit For Corvette 1967-82

Manual Conversion

If you really want a precise steering setup, a power rack and pinion offers a 30-year leap forward in steering technology for your Chevy.

Nearly all new cars come equipped with rack and pinion steering. Most people have grown accustom to the feel of it because they drive modern cars to work every day. When you take the fun Chevy out for the weekend you are suddenly and quite literally placed in the 1960’s when steering was as vague as gas prices (nobody was very concerned about either).

Even with all new components, do you find yourself sawing the wheel back and forth a little to keep it on the road? Do you find that in the corners you have to chase the car to hold the line you want?Bolting on this kit will make a significant improvement in the overall drivability and responsiveness of your car. The first thing you will notice is the quicker ratio. Stock ratios usually yield between 3.5 or 4 turns lock to lock.

That’s pretty slow. Autocrossing or just fast, mountain road driving becomes a chore with those ratios. Our rack yields about 2.75 turns lock to lock. Once you get used to the responsiveness of the steering you will notice that your car now drives exactly where you point it.

Roll into a long sweeping corner and the steering wheel can be held in one position. No more of the constant adjustments just to keep the car in the lane. Suddenly your car is driving like a new car and I don’t mean when your car was new. I mean it drives like a 2000 model year car! (At least it steers like one, it won’t fix your stumbling carb or your soft brake pedal.
