Sway Bars and Steering Boxes
Recently went to the junkyard and found an '89 Firebird with WS6 wheelcaps and rear disk brakes. Pulled a front 36mm hollow sway bar and a rear 24mm solid sway bar from it. After reading some posts regarding WS6 suspension and steering boxes, went back and checked out the steering box from this same Firebird. Turning the steering wheel it went 2 turns lock to lock so I pulled it also.
The real question is that I also pulled sway bars, front 34mm hollow and rear 23mm solid, from an '89 TransAm and front 34mm hollow and rear 21mm solid from a '91 IROC. Would both these latter vehicles yield desirable steering boxes as well or would I have to actually turn the steering wheels to find out? Thanks in advance.

Re: Sway Bars and Steering Boxes
Hard to say, since there's no such thing as a 91 IROC... or more accurately, in 1991 the "IROC" was a Dodge Daytona (FWD POS)... GM's contract with the International Race Of Champions for, among other things, the use of their name, expired at midnight 12/31/1989.
What kind of car was it, REALLY?
