Steering Shaft Installation
This rack and pinion kit should only require two steering joints, and one intermediate shaft. The steering column has to be
a specific length, in order for the shaft angle to be correct. If the steering column is too long or too short, the steering joints
will bind. The pinion shaft can rotate in the rack mounts to help reduce the shaft angle. The pinion size of our rack is 16
millimeters double D.
1. Measure the distance between the rack and pinion and the steering column to determine shaft lengths.
Loosely fit the upper assembly, and determine how much of the shaft will have to be trimmed.
2. Trim shaft and machine or grind notch to accommodate u-joint pinch bolt.
