*PLEASE NOTE - If you plan to use your own stock steering column with the Steeroids kit, you will need to cut the end off to fit the U-Joint supplied and then support the inner shaft with a retainer bearing. If you get the Steeroids kit with a steering column included, there is no cutting necessary. Please read the instructions below if you are considering using your stock steering column so that you know what is required.
*PLEASE NOTE - The steering columns used are tilt with wiring harness and turn signals included. None of the columns that we offer have the ignition switch in the column. On the stock 1970 models, the ignition switch was located in the column, so we have an aftermarket billet aluminum (mill finished) ignition mount listed below. If you plan to use your stock column with the 1970 Mustang, please look into the tech section to see what else is involved.
Steeroids kits with columns come standard with aftermarket GM splines so that you can use Grant and other name brand aftermarket steering wheels. We do this because most customers do not want the big stock wheel with the new quick ratio rack. If you want to keep your stock steering wheel, we need to know that at the time of order so that we can order the stock style splines. The columns that fit the factory Ford splines are different and cost $90 more than the standard columns. If ordering online, please make note in the "Comments" section.
When deciding on a manual or power kit, we usually recommend going with the power kits. Most customers have enjoyed more benefits from the power rack, since the quick ratio manual (~2.9 turns lock-to-lock) is still difficult to steer at lower speeds. We are finishing up a kit that includes a pump mounting bracket and fasteners. Check them out in our store by clicking here! Pumps and pulleys soon to follow! We are still working on hoses for the power kits with the straight 6 - V8 models are all finished.
Kits were designed for V8 automatic transmission cars. If your vehicle is NOT a V8 with an automatic, please CLICK HERE to read more about power steering hose and manual trasmission options.
