Aluminum Steering Rack - Custom per your specifications

Whether you choose a Stock Steering Rack off the shelf (Part No. 1802) or a Custom Steering Rack made to your specifications, you will get a top quality unit engineered for smooth operation and long life.

Unlike most racks which bend the rack towards the pinion to achieve optimum backlash, this design moves the pinion towards the rack in an eccentric housing. This has the obvious advantage of a much freer running rack and longer bearing life. Soft felt seals further enhance bearing life without adding friction. 9/16x36 spline pinion, aluminum alloy housing, and steel rack.
