Manual Conversion Kit - 79-93 Mustang

The UNISTEER PERF PRODUCTS Manual Conversion Kit for 1979–93 Ford Mustang delivers a direct-drive steering solution for classic muscle car restoration and performance driving. This conversion kit replaces hydraulic power steering systems with a responsive manual rack-and-pinion assembly, restoring mechanical feedback and reducing complexity on vehicles prioritizing driver engagement and reliability over modern assist technology.

The kit features an aluminum rack-and-pinion design with chrome finishing, engineered to bolt directly into third-generation Mustang frames without extensive modification. Manual steering setups eliminate hydraulic fluid maintenance, reduce parasitic drag on the engine, and provide unfiltered road feedback—valuable characteristics for vintage car enthusiasts restoring original drivetrains or building track-focused iterations. At 22 pounds, the assembly weighs significantly less than factory power-steering components, contributing to lighter overall vehicle curb weight.

This conversion suits builders and restorers targeting authentic steering character on 79–93 Mustang models, particularly those performing frame-off restorations, vintage racing preparation, or weight-reduction builds. The complete kit includes all necessary brackets and hardware for installation, eliminating the need to source components individually. Buyers should verify chassis compatibility and steering column configuration before ordering, as aftermarket conversion kits require precise fitment to existing suspension and firewall geometry.

UNISTEER specializes in steering system conversions for classic vehicles, offering both manual and power-assist options across American and imported platforms. The manual conversion represents a direct-drive choice for builders prioritizing simplicity, weight savings, and mechanical authenticity over power-assisted convenience on closed-course or low-mileage restorations.
