Rack and Pinion - Manual 74-78 Mustang

The Rack and Pinion - Manual 74-78 Mustang is a vital steering system upgrade for enthusiasts looking to enhance the handling of their classic 1974–1978 Ford Mustang. This component replaces the factory recirculating ball steering with modern rack-and-pinion precision, ensuring a more responsive and direct driving experience. Whether you're restoring your Mustang to its original specifications or upgrading its performance, this assembly provides the necessary mechanical advantage for improved steering response.

Designed by Unisteer Performance Products, this manual (non-power) rack-and-pinion system converts the rotational input from the steering wheel into precise linear movement, eliminating the slop and play found in older systems. The robust design ensures durability under load, while the sealed construction protects internal components from debris and moisture. At 15 lbs, this assembly integrates seamlessly into the factory mounting points of 1974–1978 Mustangs, requiring minimal fabrication for installation.

Restoration specialists and classic car builders will find this upgrade particularly beneficial, as it enhances the driving experience during both street driving and spirited weekend cruises. The 47-inch length spans the complete tie-rod-to-tie-rod geometry of the classic Mustang platform, making it an ideal choice for those looking to modernize their vehicle's handling characteristics.
