Unisteer Cross Steer Rack & Pinion Kit - 35-40 Ford

Unisteer Cross Steer® Rack & Pinion Kit - 35-40 Ford

Following the same design as the successful and proven Cross Steer for 28-34 Fords, this Cross Steer system has been modified to work with 35-40 Fords. The bracket is a larger heavier bracket that allows the Rack and Pinion to sit lower. It mounts on the inside of the frame rail and utilizes the factory rivet holes. The Rack & Pinion unit has 6 inches of rack travel with a ratio that gives about 1.6 inchs of travel per rotation of the pinion. This is a bit slower to accommodate the heavier weight of these vehicles, reducing the effort that if would takes to steer the vehicle. The steering link is thread for the 11/16 Early Ford Tie Rod End(Left handed thread). The kit does not come with a Tie Rod End. Steering Linkage must run to the pinion of the Cross Steer, the pinion size is a 9/16 inch 26 count spline, which is a common size, the same as a manual Mustang Rack & Pinion.

This Cross Steer unit is not universal for 35-40 Fords. For the Cross Steer to work you must have an unboxed frame. Also this unit works only with stock axles or 2inch drop axles. Unfortunately this unit will not work with 4 inch or 6 inch drop axles as the unit will sit to low. Also suspension wise, if you have a wish-bone set up the wishbones must be split, a four-bar set up works fine as well.
