Using this steering rack and pinion in your junior dragster is easy. First, make sure you've correctly aligned the mount pattern on the body with the designated area on your dragster. Then, secure it tightly using the appropriate fasteners for the 3/8 - inch holes. When operating, the smooth 3.5 - inch lock - to - lock travel and 7/8 turn of the shaft will give you great control. As for maintenance, regularly check the grease fitting. If it seems dry, add some high - quality grease to keep the system running smoothly. Also, periodically inspect the body for any signs of wear or damage. If you notice any issues, such as cracks or excessive play in the shaft, it's a good idea to replace the part to ensure safe driving.
