Rack and pinion for the 1971-1973 Mustangs?
What rack and pinion steering systems are avaliable for the big Mustangs? It seems like most of the conversion kits avaliable only go up to 1970, and I would like to have my '72 to have R&P.

AFAIK nobody makes a bolt in rack and pinion system for our cars. What I did was have my steering box rebuilt to 12:1 variable ratio and it feels just like a moderncar when driving. I can't imagine a r&p being much better in road feel or handling.

You'd have to fabricate your own system. I don't mind the performance ratios available in these years, though I was lucky enough to have the performance ratio stock.
