Mustang II steering units

[brian hood]

Hey

Everyone talks about using a Mustang II type steering system. Are they talking about a rack from a Mustang? Could I use a rack unit from a 80's something Mustang? Would I have to use the PS pump from this car (it is a 4 cly)?

The mustang II setup they are refering to replaces the orig stock suspension.

Can I use a rack unit from a Mustang II ?

When you say "rack" are you talking about the rack and pinion unit? A Mustang II front end kit replaces the entire front suspension. It has the rack unit, A arms, shocks, brake rotors, calipers, pads, tie rod ends, coil springs, etc etc. It's not just the rack unit. Take a look online at some of the Mustang II setups on Heidts, Fatmans, and so on and you'll get a better idea what they're talking about. I think there are some rack units that aren't power steering but I could be wrong. Anyone who knows for sure, please feel free to chime in. The kit I bought from Fatman's is P.S. Dave

they make both power and manual racks, your choice.

you can adapt the Mustang rack to whatever you want ... all you need is the proper mounting plates welded to the cross member in front..
