A Flaming River VDOG Steering Box Takes the Hassle Out of Building a Steering System

Building steering gear for cars with little underhood space can be an exercise in frustration and cuss words. You’ve got to work around things like firewalls, headers, and frame rails, resulting in weird steering angles with multiple U-joints and support bearings. A lot of you folks doing LS engine swaps in cars with tight firewall clearance know what that’s like.

The Flaming River VDOG steering box eliminates a lot of those hassles. The gear-driven box has 3/4-36 splined output shafts that sit 90 degrees to each other, providing maximum clearance in spaces where more traditional U-joint angles won’t work. What’s more, the output shaft to your steering box or rack and pinion rides in an articulating ball—you can set the shaft at any angle up to 35° to clear whatever’s in the way.

The Flaming River VDOG steering box can be mounted vertically or horizontally, and is set at a 1:1 ratio so it won’t affect your steering ratio. The cast aluminum box is available with a natural, black, or blue powdercoat finish, or you can get fancy and get one in billet aluminum.

A Flaming River Pillow Block Mount is highly recommended for use with the VDOG box. It’s a clean, easy way to secure the box to your mounting bracket.
