Unisteer Performance Rack and Pinion Assembly

Precision Steering Upgrades: Unisteer Performance Rack and Pinion Assemblies

Unisteer Performance has built its reputation around solving one of the classic car world's most common frustrations: imprecise, sloppy steering inherited from aging recirculating-ball steering boxes. Their rack and pinion assemblies are engineered specifically to replace those worn systems with modern rack-and-pinion geometry — all while bolting directly into factory mounting locations on the vehicles they're designed for.

Backed by deep manufacturing expertise, Unisteer Performance is the aftermarket division of MAVAL Industries, an industry-leading automotive steering remanufacturer and manufacturer of rack and pinions which consistently fill the needs of utility and specialty vehicles worldwide. That industrial-grade engineering heritage is what sets Unisteer apart: these aren't adapted OEM units — they're purpose-built performance assemblies for street rods, muscle cars, and classic vehicles.

Bolt-In Fitment Without Compromise

One of Unisteer's defining design principles is matching factory suspension geometry. Their center take-off style rack and pinion units utilize an offset ball center bar which duplicates the stock center link, meaning the rack matches the exact geometry of the original front suspension. The practical result: correct steering feel, minimal bump steer, and no need for custom fabrication on supported applications.

The rack and pinion matches the stock front suspension for great handling and responsiveness with no bump steer, and the rack comes mounted to a one-piece bracket which bolts up to the same factory holes on the frame that held the original steering box and idler arm. This approach keeps installation straightforward and reversible — a major consideration for show cars and restomod builds alike.

Power and Manual Options Across a Wide Range of Applications

Unisteer offers both power and manual rack and pinion assemblies, giving builders the flexibility to choose based on their powertrain, intended use, and personal preference. Their catalog spans applications ranging from 1994–2004 Mustangs (in both standard and quick ratios) to 1967–69 Camaros, 1968–72 GM A-Body platforms, and classic Ford platforms including the 1955–57 Thunderbird and 1960–64 Ford with FE motors. Street rod enthusiasts aren't left out either — manual cross-steer and center-steer units are available for pre-war Fords dating back to 1928.

Shaft kits include U-joints, shafts, a support bearing, and a bracket to connect the factory column with the rack, with specs like 3/4-36 spline pinion type and 3 turns lock to lock — details that matter to serious builders who want to understand exactly what they're installing.

Warranty You Can Count On

Unisteer stands behind their products with an unlimited-mile, 2-year warranty — a strong commitment in the specialty steering segment and a testament to the build quality baked into every assembly.

Whether you're converting a first-gen Camaro, upgrading a Fox Body Mustang, or modernizing a 1930s street rod, Unisteer Performance rack and pinion assemblies deliver the engineering depth and fitment precision that classic car and restomod builders demand.
