over all how does it feel at high speeds? On the freeway is the huge dead spot gone? ive found alot of info about the box, but not too many people giving a good description on how it feels on the road... thanks..

Well I have one installed on my 66' Mustang and couldnt be more impressed with it. I replaced factory manual steering and with my 17" wheels I had to do something different. I had rebuilt the front end with all new ball joints, tie rod ends and finished it up with shelby springs. I looked hard at the rack and pinion kits but couldnt see loosing radius and cutting the car up for a Mustang II kit was never an option for me. It would have been a weekend install but life got in the way. The box bolted right up and after some work on the column the project maybe should be considered a two weekend deal. I can sit still in my driveway and turn it lock to lock but it isnt too easy so you get some feedback. At highway speeds its like driving a new car. I was told the box is off of a mid 80's Toyo Cressida and I can see that after driving it. I would recommend this sway/upgrade to anyone wanting to retain their factory tie rods and linkage. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

thanks for the reply.. had me kinda worried lol. my biggest concern was the dead spot at high speeds. Im a little worried about clearance, did the base by the pitman arm get any wider? currently i have a small ding in my header to clear that nut on the pitman arm from the header. U look pretty close too.

It was very close but your ding should make help. I also have and issue with my engine sitting at an angle and when I pull it all back out for paint it should make that better. If you have questions feel free to email me at [email protected]
Im rarely on here.
