Re: Aftermarket Rack & Pinion
I wouldn't be surprised if you see new rule changes aimed at making the older cars safer for the speeds they are running. Just saying.

Re: Aftermarket Rack & Pinion
You never answered Why you think the older cars are unsafe! Are you after a r&p for your Chevy II?

Re: Aftermarket Rack & Pinion
ask any of the Hemi guys about breaking a box and losing steering. Of course, I'd love to have a modern day manufactured rack and pinion on my wagon -- running in the nines as opposed to the stock unit. Who wouldn't?

Re: Aftermarket Rack & Pinion
question; how is a rack gonna be any stronger than a centerlink if you've got a rod beating the snot out of it?
last i checked, they'll be in the same general area and, btw, i see broken racks (oem) every now and then...

Re: Aftermarket Rack & Pinion
Just how many of the Hemi's have had this failure? Ran in the high 8's 35 years ago big wheel stands and all!

Re: Aftermarket Rack & Pinion
Bobbie,
Like I said before, there are very qualified chassis builders working within the rules to make all these cars safe to drive at speed. A lot of engineering goes into the steering among all other parts of the Super Stock racecar chassis. We are NOT interested in making another super gas class! FJ Smith |

There are many cars out there that have reinforced lower control arms for this reason. Many of the Global West lower and upper bushing kits come with reinforcement plates too. |
