Product Description
The Cross Steer is essentially a small half rack and pinion that bolts into place exactly where the Vega style steering box would bolt on. The system still uses a draglink between both wheels. The Cross Steer was specifically designed for solid axle cars and trucks of this era with a mono leaf spring suspention. Since the Cross Steer pivots only off the one side, it matches up perfectly with the stock suspention of the solid axle Fords. Sorry, it will not work on Chevys which had dual leaf springs.
Note: You must have split wishbones (at least 12 inches) or hairpins for the Cross Steer to properly work. The gear comes mounted to an angled bracket that has the same three hole pattern for mounting the Vega box. This small rack & pinion is made of all automotive grade components and can handle a vehicle up to 3500 lbs!
