Unisteer’s revolutionary change for steering on early solid axle Fords! Winner of the SEMA 2003 best new  product award. Cross steer redefined the way that early Fords steer. After having sold thousands of these, most people report  positive steering feel with no sloppiness and a significant reduction in steering effort, even at low speed! You have nothing to  do except swap out that Vega box and everything to gain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Cross Steer is essentially a small half rack and pinion that bolts into place exactly where the Vega style steering box would bolt on. The system still uses a draglink between both wheels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Cross Steer was specifically designed for solid axle cars and trucks of this era with a mono leaf spring suspension.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSince the Cross Steer pivots only off the one side, it matches up perfectly with the stock suspension of the solid axle Fords.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSorry, it will not work on Chevys which had dual leaf springs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNote: You must have split wishbones (at least 12 inches) or hairpins for the Cross Steer to properly work.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe gear comes mounted to an angled bracket that has the same three hole pattern for mounting the Vega box.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis small rack and pinion is made of all automotive grade components and can handle a vehicle up to 3500 lbs!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf you are building a new vehicle, the regular Cross Steer is the best option and you can run your steering linkage down to the gear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe can even send you a Cross Steer with a plain steel bracket that you could weld to your frame and paint to match.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf you still have a Vega Box, check out our retrofit that has a shaft kit. This shaft kit consists of a coupler and a shaft with a splined end which is the same size as the Vega spline so you can reuse your existing steering linkage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe switch over can be done in only an hour or two!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMake sure you get the right kit for the right year FRAME you have! 1933-1934 cars and trucks were slightly different than the earlier 1928-1932s.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor fitment of the Cross Steer, what matters is the frame you have: '33-34s have a slightly wider frame by about two inches so the bracket for the cross steer is different making up for this difference. Otherwise it is the same!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInner End threads\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan\u003e11\/16\"-18 Female Tubes\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePinion Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan\u003e9\/16\"-26 Spline\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTotal Turns Lock To Lock\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan\u003e3.75\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTravel Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan\u003e6\"\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unisteer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49954460107030,"sku":"GCNB-8000470-01","price":576.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0930\/0878\/9782\/files\/0_8000470-01_1_normalized.jpg?v=1776902400","url":"https:\/\/www.cspracing.com\/products\/unisteer-8000470-01-cross-steer-vega-replacement","provider":"Complete Street Performance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
