10-054       RACK & PINION Power, Bolt On. Mounting brackets attach to frame at stock steering box &

idler arm mounting holes. The unit is supplied with male fittings for #6 AN hose. The pinion size is 17mm

Double D. Connection to column depends on column you are using but if you wish to use your stock column

[not recommended] you will need to shorten it by 1 3/4" & follow directions supplied. Call for help in

determining your column to rack connection, we have necessary parts in stock. If you want to have a column

shift [auto's only, no sticks] this can be done but it greatly complicates the installation, so a custom column

is recommended or use a floor shift. Lokar makes some very nice  automatic floor shifters. This unit is made

by Unisteer Performance Products & is based on a Volvo rack and in our opinion is a light duty unit suitable

for cruisers, for more demanding applications use 10-055.
