Steering Box 8:1 700 Series Sportsman

The Steering Box 8:1 700 Series Sportsman by SWEET is a precision-engineered manual steering gearbox designed for dedicated racers and high-performance enthusiasts. This gearbox provides responsive steering feedback without the need for power-assist hydraulics, making it ideal for tight road courses, autocross events, and vintage racing applications where steering feel and weight reduction are crucial.

With an 8:1 steering ratio, this unit allows for one full steering wheel rotation to produce eight degrees of front-wheel turn, offering a faster ratio than stock units. The gearbox employs mechanical straight-tooth or helical gear engagement, eliminating servo lag and ensuring instantaneous response to driver inputs. Constructed with hardened steel gears and ductile iron housings, it is designed to absorb shock loads from aggressive steering inputs and rough road surfaces without binding or gear tooth wear.

This steering box is particularly beneficial for racers who require reliable steering geometry under sustained high-g cornering and repetitive competitive use. Bolt-in compatibility will depend on your vehicle's original steering column and tie-rod geometry, ensuring that it can be integrated into various setups for optimal performance.
