    Unisteer R&P

    Does anyone have any experience with the Unisteer R&P?  I have the oppertunity to buy a used kit at a very good price and before I spend anything I was wondering what thoughts were on it.  Thanks

    Re: Unisteer R&P

    The Unisteer is a good unit. I've had mine since they came out. Keeps the standard turning circle, and doesnt feel over boosted.
    Main thing is you do have to do a bit ofcustom fitting. Ain't that hard coz I managed to do it successfully.
    Some folks have had customer service issues with them, as fer me I think they are first rate filks.

    If it ain't broke, I haven't modified it Yet

    I have a manual rack in a 67 coupe and like it. Little hard parking, other than that it is fine. Small steering doesn;t help either.

    Thanks guys.  The one I'm looking at is manual also, so I will stay away from really wide tires in front.

    There's a TCP power set up on the swap meet page. Really good price for a really good setup.

    Re: Unisteer R&P

    Oh it's a manual unit.
    If price is compettive for the TCP unit, that may be a betterr way to go.
    Iswapped my manual  Unisteer for the Power version as soon as the power Unisteers hit the market. Didn't much like living with the manual unit.

    I have the power unit too.  Works good and its a lot nicer then the OEM steering. 
    Maybe you could do the Manual Rack and do the eletric power steering column?

    If you decide NOT to get the Unisteer Manual setup, can you let me know what the Price of it is? I'd be interested possibly and I am already manual steering...

    How is the return to center?

    Me too, Howard.  The alignment guru got over 5 degrees of pos caster in it and it works soooooo fine.  Rock steady at speed, nice in the parking lots, and it mostly returns to center all by it's own self.  No loss of turning radius, no installation hoops to jump through, stock bump steer which for our car seems to be fairly non-existant.  Do I sound happy?

    I use the front alignment, Daze reccommends. With the Unisteer Power R&P, I don't even have to think about centering, It's just like driving a newer car.
