The present invention relates to the field of automotive engineering, more particularly steering assemblies for use in the modification of left hand drive vehicles using rack and pinion steering to right hand drive. In one form, the invention relates to a device and method for orienting the pinion relative to the rack and steering column so as to provide dynamic interface between the steering rack and pinion assembly (which is affixed to the chassis cross member) and the steering column. Furthermore the invention seeks to enable the mounting strength and geometry of the OEM's left hand drive steering column to be replicated in right hand drive configuration thus enabling the features of the left hand drive steering column designed by the vehicle OEM to be substantially retained.
