Flaming River 1965-70 Mustang Manual Rack and Pinion Cradle Kits FR300-65MU

The Flaming River Manual Rack and Pinion Cradle Kit, part FR300-65MU, replaces the stock steering box on a 1965-70 Ford Mustang with a manual rack and pinion system, intended to lighten steering feel and tighten turning response. What the kit includes A manual steel rack and pinion, chrome finish, with 3.50 turns lock-to-lock A welded mounting cradle that bolts into the stock locations A tilt steering column, steel construction with a natural finish Mounting brackets and hardware Tie rod ends are not included and will need to be sourced separately. The kit works with the stock Mustang steering wheel, and installation does not require chassis modifications. Fitting notes Because this is a manual, not power-assisted, rack, expect a firmer steering feel than a factory power-steering-equipped Mustang, which some owners prefer for feedback and others find too heavy at low speeds; weigh that before choosing between this and a power version. An alignment after installation is recommended, since the geometry change from a steering box to a rack and pinion can shift toe settings. Common question Is power assist included? No, the rack is manual only; Flaming River built it that way specifically for direct feedback rather than a boosted feel. Specifications Feature Details MFG.
