Rack and pinion conversion in chevelle

[LowBuckX]

I`ll say up front that I`m a Lee dealer and have been nothing less than thrilled with their boxes. They`re by far the best boxes we`ve ever used period and truthfully have much better road feel and response than many factory R&P cars. IMO they offer the best performance for the buck out there. On top of that Tom Lee is a great guy to deal with and knows more about steering gear than most whole companies will ever begin know.
I`ve spoken out against poorly concieved and executed R&P conversions many times. I don`t suffer fools lightly.
All that said Dave and Unisteer know their stuff pretty well too apparently. I`ve talked to Dave a number of times and we actually have a Unisteer R&P on our A body test chassis as I type this. They agreed to let us test one even after I used "The B Word" (bumpsteer gauge)!
Well,they did their homework. The geometry is very good and bumpsteer is reduced to as little as we get with our StreetComp packages. It`s so good that the R&P conversion will require a few tweaks to work well with our packages. Basically a two rights make a wrong thing. I haven`t driven a car with the Unisteer R&P conversion so I can`t speak for the feel of the system at all but the install is common sense,brackets are well made and the steering shaft angle doesn`t require 27 U joints to get to the column. If you really have your heart set on a R&P for your A body Unisteers is the only one I would consider. Mark SC&C

Marcus I was waiting to hear of your findings. I remember you made mention of getting one and testing it in a post some time ago. Got a pic of it installed? would love to see it.
