This steering system was pieced together over the years from sheer necessity.  The days of our old pony jumping lanes without notice had to come to an end. Showing up to an autocross and running the car to its limits only to open the hood and find power steering fluid evenly coated over the right side of the motor also had to end. It was time to fix these issues and move on. The car jumping from lane to lane is usually the result of a worn out control valve, among other worn and original parts. Most newer power steering systems no longer use the old style control valves which provides a much better, on-center steering feel. Over the years, power steering pumps have improved by leaps and bounds. The days of blowing oil all over the engine bay are gone. We replace the old pumps with a high-quality KRC Power Steering pump, the likes of which can be found in everything from hot rods to race cars.

So why not go with a typical rack-and-pinion type setup so common these days? It all has to do with steering geometry, or the math behind why your car feels twitchy and unpredictable instead of solid and confidence inspiring. Unfortunately, feel often takes a backseat to packaging constraints (and consumers who say “I want that” without really being sure why). What everyone seems to be missing is that most rack and pinion systems actually make the original steering geometry worse.

This kit is designed to be configured with a stock manual steering centerlink & idler arm. For 1964.5-1966 applications manual steering tie rods are also required.
