Smallest manual steering box

Oh I remember those kits now. I still really dislike that LCA mounting design, there's just no way that's a good idea for use on a street car.

Seems like a full K member replacement like the HDK or RMS would be the way to go. Better geometry (not mixing and matching coil overs and stock parts), rack and pinion, engine mounts to fit the late model hemi- the extra cost would be well worth it.

Also, just FYI, to go to a rack you'd basically have to start over. Since that kit keeps all of the stock steering components and spindles, you'd have the same serious Ackerman issues converting to a rack and pinion as a stock Mopar.

. I am well aware of what will be required if I change it. Lca mounts just like the factory and now has a added support mount at the pivot. Not really sure on how that makes a ton of difference. I know you know way more about this stuff then me that is for sure. So I can’t and will not argue you about it. What is the reason you dislike the design of the lower lca? I do know that what I give for this kit was pennies for what it costs for a full k member setup. I have seen just one early a body with a modern hemi using a steering box. I felt if he/they could do it, so could I. Worst come to worst. I ending up buying a full front end kit.
