hen you drive your classic Nova you deserve the greatly enhanced steering control and improved feel which a modern, well engineered rack and pinion steering system can deliver. The stock factory re-circulating ball steering box which came on the Nova is vague and unresponsive. This is especially true “on center” where modern cars with rack and pinion excel with the crisp response you have come to expect. The factory stock manual steering on many cars is 4 turns lock to lock! Not a sporty feel.
Our power steering racks offer much quicker ratios over the stock steering. Steeroids TM rack and pinion conversions for 1968-1974 Nova yield approximately 2.75 turns lock-to-lock (power system), and 3.4 turns (manual system) great for drag racers. As an added benefit you get a lighter weight steering system; Steeroids saves up to 25 lbs.
A Steeroids kit is an entirely bolt on installation. There is absolutely no welding, cutting or drilling to your sub frame, on ANY of these Steeroids. Others claim to be bolt on but beware. The kit installs with basic hand tools in approximately 3-5 hours. On a power kit, your existing or readily available power steering pump and brackets can be used. If you choose a manual system (higher steering effort, but you save even more weight) no pump is required. The manual system is permanently lubricated, so there is no maintenance.
Steeroids TM rack and pinion conversion kits are complete kits; all the necessary parts are included, with the exception of the power steering pump which your car already has if it came with power steering; so you can use the existing pump with our kit. The kit completely replaces all your existing steering components! An additional benefit of our kit is that you can adjust for bump steer.
PARTS INCLUDED
- Rack and pinion
- Adapter bracket which bolts on to the chassis through the a-arm bolts.
- Tie rod ends which are Teflon lined, self cleaning and self lubricating - zero maintenance.
- U-joint assembly
- Power steering hoses that fit the factory pump. (on power kits)
- Grade 8 plated fasteners.
What an easy, excellent way to update and modernize an already great car. You won’t believe how much it improves the feel and precision and makes your Nova feel crisp and sporty like it should. All of this equals putting the fun back in driving! Isn’t that what owning a classic Nova is all about?
