8. With upper u-joint on column with setscrew tight on the shaft, raise rack and pinion assembly up in
between the frame rails. Line lower u-joint up with the splines on the pinion. Slide u-joint onto pinion.
9. U-joint orientation is very important. When bolting intermediate shaft assembly into place. Install the
joints 90 Degrees off of each other. This is important, as it will reduce “BUMP”, the hard points of
rotation in the steering. With the shaft and u-joints connected tighten the setscrew on the top u-joint
and drill through the shaft and column insert using the u-joint as a guide. Note: Make sure steering
wheel is locked in the straight position and the rack is still centered.
10. Start to tap the large roll pin in and finish tapping the large and small roll pin in together until flush with
the u-joint creating a positive lock.
11. To finish your Corvette installation, please use the instructions that came with the Rack & Pinion. Do
not tighten pinch bolts on u-joints or drill u-joint at this time.
Note: This kit will work best with our Rack & Pinion Kit 8011540.
