Cross Shaft Cap for Steering Gear

The Cross Shaft Cap for Steering Gear (MPN KSG1068) by K.S.E. Racing is a precision-engineered component designed for high-performance steering system assemblies. This cap serves as a critical sealing and protective element for the cross shaft bore on modern steering gearboxes, particularly in performance and racing applications where gear integrity is paramount. Whether you're rebuilding a worn steering unit or upgrading to racing-grade components, this cross shaft cap ensures proper bore closure and prevents contamination of internal steering mechanisms.

Manufactured by K.S.E. Racing—a respected name in performance steering fabrication—this cross shaft cap is engineered to exacting tolerances to maintain the precision fit required in modern steering gearboxes. The compact design (2.7 x 0.8 x 2.9 inches) allows for direct bore installation without obstruction to steering arm travel or adjacent linkage geometry. At just 0.05 lbs, the cap's lightweight construction reflects high-strength materials optimized for reliability under the lateral and torsional forces encountered in both street and track applications. The cap protects the internal cross shaft bore from road debris, moisture, and premature wear while maintaining zero backlash in the steering input.

Mechanics and performance enthusiasts rebuilding or servicing rack-and-pinion or worm-and-roller steering gears will find this cap essential for complete restoration. It's especially valuable for drag racing, road racing, and high-performance street builds where steering precision and component longevity directly impact handling confidence and safety. Installation requires only basic mechanical knowledge and hand tools—simply seat the cap firmly into the cross shaft bore until it bottoms naturally. Verify compatibility with your specific steering gearbox model before ordering to ensure proper fitment and sealing performance.
