Due to the common oil pan/tie rod end clearance issues, I am considering purchasing a Unisteer rack and pinion set up. Does anyone have any pictures of this unit in a chevelle with their LS motor? Has anyone had any experience of better clearance with the rack compared to the center link and tie rods?

Thanks.

I don't think too many people use the that setup because there is apparently no benefit to doing so (other than clearance for an ls oil pan I guess). Some guy over on chevelles.com said he was going to install rack and pinion but then never came back to post pictures.

Thanks. Yeah, it's the clearance for the pan that I am looking for. Otherwise I wouldn't bother considering a rack.

I see there are installation instructions on the unisteer website. It shows one photo of the rack partially installed, not fully complete. It looks to be a nice kit, but for the $1300+ there are many more ways to solve tire rod interference problems.

chuckd71 has gone with a 1970 linkage setup that doesn't have the zerk fittings.
Others have gone with heim joint setups.
Both seems to be a LOT cheaper.
