Thread: Ford Rack and Pinion

Tweet

Hey i was needing a Ford Rack and Pinion for a 1951 Chevy. Does anyone have any ideas as to what i can do to find one?

Ant help would be much appreciated.


Thanks,
Josh

Here's an idea; go to an automotive parts house.

Or, a salvage yard if you don't want to spend the money for new.

Ford didn't make a rack and pinion for the 51 Chevy. What are you smoking?

I have a non-power rack out of a 78 Mercury Zepher, if that will suit your needs. $100 + shipping. I'm in Canada, near Toronto.

That kit is for a Pinto or Mustang II front suspension. You'll need every part that you can unbolt from the front end of one of these cars. The rack and pinion, upper a-frames, lower control arms, springs, spindles, ball joints, shocks, rotors, wheel bearings etc. If you can't find a complete car to strip it can get very expensive buying the parts seperatley. These cars used 4 lug wheels but you can buy rotors that have the Chevy bolt pattern.

Thanks Al Show,
Since it is for my Father-in-law I really didnt know the specifics. But i didnt know it was a mustang II front end. Does it matter what year you think? Cause i know a guy where i live who has a yard full of mustangs, and that's it.

Thank you,
Josh

The link you posted says 74 to 78 Mustang or 74 to 80 Pinto/Bobcat. Maybe some other company makes them for other years of Mustangs I don't know.
