    Question Corvair steering box

     



    Does anyone know about reversing a Corvair steering box? Looks pretty cool. How do they work?

    well they work just as any other steering box does, but they are reversed. used on a drag link mono leaf front suspension, A's and T buckets mostly, not cross steer
    You don't know what you've got til it's gone

    since it is symmetrical, it works just like the standard box....

    see it done:

    The boxes come in two versions, aluminum and cast steel. The steel versions are a lot stronger, although neither one is suitable for heavy cars. As Matt167 said, more suited to T buckets, and cars in that weight bracket.
