Short LS Alternator and Power Steering Drive Bracket
The Alternator and Power Steering Drive - Short meets the needs of tight LS engine bays by uniting the alternator and steering pump drives into one compact assembly. Designed for LS swaps with Corvette and Cadillac CTS V short balancer length, it installs on 1964 to 1967 A Body, 1970 to 1981 F Body, 1970 to 1972 Monte Carlo, 1982 to 2004 S 10 two wheel drive, and 1964 to 1972 two wheel drive GM truck chassis. Crafted from premium domestic materials, it ships with all required hardware and an installation guide. Precision engineered for direct fit, it optimizes alternator output and preserves steering response across varied load conditions. Manufactured in the USA, this bracket ensures consistent performance and minimal adjustment.
Tailored Fit for LS Powertrains
The Alternator and Power Steering Drive Short is engineered to match short balancer setups on Corvette and Cadillac CTS V engines. Its design also embraces popular GM swap applications such as Monte Carlo, S 10, and 2WD truck platforms. By engaging MuscleRods mounting systems, the unit gains exact engine placement and correct drivetrain angles. This integration maintains belt alignment and eliminates stress on pulley bearings, ensuring reliable operation in a variety of custom swaps.
Premium Materials and Lasting Strength
Constructed from premium grade components, this drive assembly stands up to intense torsion and heat. High alloy steel shafts ride on precision bearings for smooth rotation under load, while aluminum brackets resist corrosion in demanding engine bays. Each part undergoes rigorous inspection to meet strict quality thresholds. The result is a robust solution that retains its geometry over time, resisting warping and wear even under continuous duty.
Improved Electrical and Steering Performance
By optimizing the placement of the alternator and power steering pump, this drive enhances charging efficiency and steering response. It maintains consistent belt tension to prevent slip during idle and high rpm conditions. Drivers will notice steadier voltage output under heavy accessory demand as well as firmer steering assist when maneuvering at low speeds. The assembly's balanced pulley spacing also reduces belt vibration, delivering a smoother power transfer.
Precision Manufacturing and US Craftsmanship
Every component is precision machined to tight tolerances for seamless assembly and fast installation. The design ensures pulleys align within fractions of a millimeter, reducing startup wear and extending service intervals. Proudly Made in the USA, the drive system benefits from local quality control and expert oversight. Technicians appreciate the clean fit and straightforward bolt pattern, making it an ideal choice for professional builders and dedicated enthusiasts alike.
