Power Rack & Pinion Universal Joint System
1) The Flaming River Power Rack and Pinion Cradle Assembly comes preassembled from the factory, however you may
need to adjust the pinion angle for proper u-joint alignment. – First loosen the set screw on the passenger side pillow
block, next loosen the (4) four pillow block clamp mounting bolts, then adjust your pinion angle. Once your pinion angle is
set tighten the (4) four pillow block mounting clamp bolts and then the set screw.
2) We recommend the use of ¾” dowel rod to mock up the steering shaft to obtain the correct length of the shafts.
3) Install your shaft kit and snug each set screw so that it will leave a mark in the shafts.
4) Remove shaft and dimple each setscrew mark using a ¼” drill bit. (As shown below.)
5) Re-install the shafts using red high strength thread locker on the set screw threads. Tighten each setscrew to 25 ft. lbs.
Tighten all lock nuts securely. We recommend that you Inspect setscrews periodically for tightness
