For solutions to your steering needs, look no
further than our complete system approach. While most steering components
are afterthoughts to a suspension system or a single major component, we've
taken the systems approach to ensure that all components fit and work together. |
A steering system contains many components: The column and wheel,
steering shaft, gear box, pitman arm, drag link, tie rod, steering
arms and knuckles. Many companies offer one or some of these in
their product lines. In the past, it's been up to the customer to
figure out what works and then find those parts. Quite often, the
result is a collection of parts that don't work together, poorly
fabricated parts because nothing is commercially available, or a
vehicle with erratic handling due to bump steer, incorrect steering
ratio speed, or uncorrectable alignment problems.
Systems and components are available for:
-
Heavy duty components in stock location
-
High crossover drag link for spring over or highly lifted vehicles
-
High steer for high clearance requirements
-
Crossover steering conversion systems
-
Ram steering for extremely large tires
We've taken the hard work out of designing a complete system. The benefits
to you:
-
A system designed for your vehicle, it's suspension, axles, and tires.
-
A system that performs extremely well offroad yet meets DOT needs.
-
A system that clears all suspension components and the frame.
-
No binding of the tie rod or drag link.
-
Matched steering ratios of the steering arms, pitman arm, and gear box.
-
Secure mounting systems and hardware for gearboxes and arms.
