KRC began research and developement on an aluminum power steering pump in 1996. After months of testing with the then current style pump, they found that the mid 60's design of that pump could not be improved to the standards needed by todays racers. In 1997, KRC teamed up with ZUA, a company that builds power steering systems for many major auto manufacturers. Their engineers worked closely with them to produce an aluminum pump designed to meet the needs of todays racer. KRC and ZUA constantly strive to improve these products so you can always stay in front of the competition.
