Sweet MFG steering box

[Shimy87]

Has anyone put one of these in? you can get 2 different ratios, I believe our stock is 6 turns lock to lock. They have 3 and 2 turns lock to lock available. Just wondered is anyone had tried them. Would love to improve this on my car if they work well.

I would love to have a rack and pinion system in my car.

I run them in roundy round cars, they work well. I think there are a lot more than 2 ratios.


I'm not sure what feel you are looking for, but I also have a newer style 600 box that is 8:1 ratio from Turn One, which does a lot of high end racing boxes. They are over $2000 new, I'd sell this one for $1000 if you are interested.

I see they have "steering quickiner" boxes that increase 2:1 for $100. Anyone try these? Seems like a great solution to the sluggish response of our steering. For the price I think I gotta give these a shot

Aluminum or iron case?

How many spline on stock steering box??

[Just a Six?]

While doing brakes on my LTD I went Left to Right end to end & it's 2 complete turns. Mine might have
"quick ratio" steering or something like that?? Somewhere I'm sure I read something way back when?

I've ran these a lot, they are good for a racecar, but I suspect the lack of feel and increased ratio would cause a high speed "wander" on the highway that would get very annoying. I think I have one of these laying around too, you'd need to find a solid chassis mount for it somewhere and need to cut a section out your steering column to replace with it.


overall its not real practical on a street car.

Thanks, after thinking it over I've decided probably not going this route
