KSE Gen 2 Steering Gear

The K.S.E. Racing KSE Gen 2 Steering Gear is a power steering box engineered specifically for high-performance sprint cars and competition vehicles. Featuring a 16-inch output shaft and 11-inch input shaft, this right-hand gearbox delivers the precision steering response and reliability that sprint car drivers demand on short-track circuits. Built from aluminum construction in natural finish, the unit combines lightweight design with the durability required for repeated aggressive steering inputs during sustained racing applications.

The Gen 2 design represents K.S.E. Racing's refined approach to sprint car steering geometry, offering reduced friction and improved feedback compared to earlier iterations. The power-assisted system minimizes driver fatigue during long heat races while maintaining the direct steering control essential for navigating tight corners at competitive speeds. The aluminum body keeps rotating mass minimal, allowing for quicker steering response and reducing the mechanical advantage penalty of long-stroke sprint car suspensions. At 31.9 lbs, the steering box provides a significant weight advantage over cast-iron alternatives without compromising structural rigidity.

This steering gear is purpose-built for drivers and fabricators who demand OEM-level engineering in competition applications. Whether upgrading an existing sprint car platform or building a new machine, the KSE Gen 2 addresses the specific steering geometry requirements of modern short-track racing. The right-gear configuration suits vehicles with standard cockpit layouts, while the dual-shaft design accommodates both direct column input and aftermarket steering intermediate shafts common in race car builds.

K.S.E. Racing's reputation in the sprint car market rests on consistent steering performance and component longevity under race conditions. This steering gear integrates seamlessly with K.S.E. Racing's full suspension and steering lineup, allowing builders to maintain hydraulic and mechanical compatibility across the front end package.
