Rack or new Box and Pivot Points
I have been thinking about this for some time and can’t come to a conclusion. Most comments I see on Rack and Pinion conversion kits are not enthusiastic. So the idea of a R&P kit has me questioning if the feel is there or just another aftermarket part to sell that has a $1000 placebo effect, and adds no real lift and possibly a lot of headache.
POL has a kit that they say will work on a C20 with disc brakes. Any one with first hand experience? Fitment? Net result? https://www.performanceonline.com/19...nd-pinion-kit/ My other option is to swap out all the pivot points and replace the currant 4.5 turn box with a 3 turn from Red Head. https://www.redheadsteeringgears.com...0Truck%20(2WD) This will stiffen the feel that is needed. I have gotten so use to racks I am missing the feel. Given we have the steering connections front of the axle line and everything I have read says aft of line gives the preferred feel. I am thinking I probably am chasing unobtanium. I think it was Richard Petty who would swap the knuckles on his race cars and flip everything around in the early 60s to get this setup. POL also has a set of control arms that is said to improve feel. Likely a caster push to the front I believe. That will improve centering force and wander. https://www.performanceonline.com/po...c20-c30-truck/ We have 50 year old hardware so I get it. I can’t help to chase improvements as advertised if they actually work. Any thoughts on these “upgrades”? |
