The Spohn Pinto manual rack and pinion steering kit for the 1993-2002 F-Body Camaro and Firebird will work with your factory k-member, Spohn tubular k-member with manual rack mount or other aftermarket tubular k-members with stock style or Pinto manual rack mounts installed. Replace the factory’s very heavy power steering rack and pump and shed some serious weight off the front of your car. Our manual Pinto style rack has a more aggressive gearbox (3.75 turns lock to lock) and will take less effort to turn compared to a factory rack with the power assist disconnected.
Our Pinto manual
rack features over-sized rod ends for the input shaft and a chromed
center tube for a trick appearance. Unlike many other manual rack
kits on the market, our tie rod end to spindle adapters do not
require you to drill out your spindle hole. Our tie rod end to spindle
adapters are CNC machined from 4140 chrome moly and are machined to be
a direct bolt on to the GM spindle taper. In addition, they are also on
the car bump-steer adjustable. The tie rod to spindle adapters are
fully threaded with double locking jam nuts for easy up-down
adjustment that eliminates the need for spacers. Our tie rod end
set-up features 5/8” chrome moly Teflon lined rod ends with 5/8” chrome
moly safety washers top and bottom for adequate articulation and
safety. We use silver zinc plated 4140 chrome moly hex tie rod
adjusters for the ultimate in strength and durability.
Our Pinto manual
rack kit includes the complete steering shaft assembly. Our steering
shaft features Flaming River chrome moly low
profile needle bearing u-joints that have a reduced diameter for more
clearance and reduced weight and they do not require lubrication.
Combined with a ¾” D-D steering shaft, our steering shaft assembly
provides for a substantial weight decrease over the stock steering
shaft and much more header/turbo clearance. Finally, our steering shaft
assembly is TIG welded so you have no worries about set screw
connections coming loose.
Our manual rack kit
is available in four different versions, and for two different
platforms. In the option boxes you will need to specify if it will be
installed on a 1993-1997 or a 1998-2002 GM F-Body so you get the proper
steering shaft assembly. The rack kit is available for installation on
to four different k-member set-ups:
1. Factory K-member
(notching and welding required)
2. Spohn Performance tubular k-member with Part #704-MRM manual rack mount installed.
3. Any other aftermarket k-member with Pinto rack mounts installed. This kit will come with a CNC machined 6061 aluminum rack clamp and mounting hardware (not the welded tubes for mounting to stock-style rack mounts).
2. Spohn Performance tubular k-member with Part #704-MRM manual rack mount installed.
3. Any other aftermarket k-member with Pinto rack mounts installed. This kit will come with a CNC machined 6061 aluminum rack clamp and mounting hardware (not the welded tubes for mounting to stock-style rack mounts).
4. Any other
aftermarket k-member with stock rack mounts installed. (welding
required)
Note: For installation on
the factory k-member (#1 above) you will need to slightly extend the
rack clearance notch in the factory k-member and weld on the supplied
rack mounting plate and gusset (see pics). For installation on an
aftermarket tubular k-member (other than a Spohn) with stock style rack
mounts (#4 above) you will need to weld on the supplied rack mounting
plate and gusset (see installed pics on Spohn k-member, you will need
to install that mount on to your tubular k-member).
