When installing a custom front suspension—especially with Mustang II-style crossmembers—one of the most overlooked components is the steering rack's width. If your wheels are toed in, and you’re running out of adjustment on your tie rods, there’s a good chance you need rack extenders.

Classic Performance Products offers precision-machined rack extenders for both manual and power rack and pinion setups, helping correct steering geometry by increasing the rack’s total width. Whether you're working with a Heidts, Fatman, or TCI front end, these extenders are a must-have for dialing in proper alignment and maximizing tie rod thread engagement.

Determining What Size Universal Joint (U-Joint) You Need is Simple

Start by Determining the Spline Size

To determine the spline size of a component (rack and pinion, steering column and steering box), measure the outside diameter and count the number of splines. If there is a flat spot on the shaft and some of the splines are missing, count halfway around where there are splines and double that number. We need to know how many teeth are in a theoretical full circle.
