Steeroids 83860 Corvette 1953-57 Manual Rack and Pinion Chrome Column
Manual Rack and Pinion Conversion Kit for 1953-1957 Corvettes with Chrome Plated Steering Column 83860
GET CONTROL OF YOUR RIDE!!!
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.

Rack And Pinion Comparison Test
Our roadrace kit 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!
IMPORTANT THIS IS A CHROME PLATED STEERING COLUMN KIT !!
Steeroids™ Rack and Pinion steering conversion kits are now available for 1953-1957 Corvettes which will update the 1940’s steering design on your solid-axle classic to the latest 21st century standards. This is a true bolt-on kit that can be power assisted, something never offered on C1 Corvette’s from the factory! Steeroids™ do not require any drilling, cutting or welding on the Corvette. Tighter, more responsive steering feel and lighter weight are all advantages to this system. Steeroids™ rack and pinion kits include an exciting quick ratio rack yielding approximately 2.5 turns lock-to-lock at the wheel. Steeroids kits also include adjustable tie rod ends to effectively eliminate bump steer so that your Corvette not only steers better, it actually handles better! Both power and manual kits are available.
Steeroidsâ„¢ kits are completely bolt-on and without modification so you can return your Corvette to its factory (original) steering at any time. Which can only be done by providing you a completely new ididit steering column for your steering system upgrade. Steering columns are available in chrome, black or paintable which would allow you to paint to match your C1 Corvette's interior.
Here are just some of the benefits of Steeroidsâ„¢ rack & pinion system for your 1953-1957 Corvette:
- Offers Improved Steering Feel: Recirculating ball steering is vague and unresponsive, especially "on center". Control is greatly enhanced.
- Offers Quicker Ratio: Steeroidsâ„¢ power kits yield approximately 2.5 turns lock-to-lock (~2.9 for manual).
- Lighter Weight: Compared to the stock steering system.
- Bolt-On Installation: Absolutely no welding, cutting or drilling. Installs with basic hand tools in approximately 6 hours. Includes rack & pinion, adapter brackets (powder coated black), adjustable tie rod ends (self cleaning & lubricating, Teflon lined), u-joint assembly, and new ididit steering column (chrome, black or paintable)
- Power Steering options include everything to convert to power rack and pinion (or you can stay manual if you desire). Parts included power steering pump, power steering pulley, engine mount brackets, and the power steering hoses to the rack & pinion.
- Steeroids Come As A Complete Kit: All necessary parts are included, including all mounting hardware for a no-hassle installation.
