OFF-ROAD RACK & PINIONS

Engineered for Rugged Performance Our steering inventory features a variety of configurations to suit your specific chassis and suspension design:

• Center-Load vs. Side-Load Racks: We stock both center-load racks, preferred for long-travel sand rails to minimize bump steer, and side-load racks, often used in custom buggy applications. These units are available in various widths (such as 11" or 14") to match your front-end geometry.

• Heavy-Duty Construction: Manufactured with high-strength aluminum housings and heat-treated internal gears, our racks are built to withstand the constant vibration and high-impact loads of off-road environments.

• Mounting Brackets & Hardware: A precision rack is only as good as its mounting. We carry heavy-duty weld-on and bolt-on mounting brackets designed to secure your steering unit firmly to the frame or front beam, ensuring zero deflection under load.

• Universal Joints & Steering Shafts: Complete your conversion with our selection of high-misalignment U-joints, couplers, and chromoly steering shafts. These components allow for smooth steering action even at the complex angles required by custom steering column layouts.

Eliminate Steering Play and Fatigue The primary advantage of an off-road rack and pinion is the reduction of mechanical complexity. With fewer moving parts and a higher gear ratio, you gain a level of steering precision that is essential for maintaining control at high speeds. Sourced from industry leaders like Latest Rage and EMPI, these components are the professional choice for builders who prioritize safety and performance.
