Hi Guys.. I have a 1987 Iroc L98 camaro and the steering is VERY loose. I dont like it.

Do they sell something to tighten the steering up or is there some type of adjustment?

Please help. I dont want to sink alot of money into this car. I just got rid of my race 01 camaro and my 69 camaro. Just want something to cruise around in and be happy.

 

You will need to check the steering componets.
If it's all going it's going to seem like your sinking money into it, but if you buy an old beat up car, that is how it's going to start. Once you have it fixed it will just be regualr maint.

 

do they sell a kit for an upgraded steering?


Like the Ididit steering column?

 

yeah man on the top of the steering box their is a hex bolt with a lock nut.. loosen the lock nut then run the hex bolt all the way down till it bottoms out then back it off 1/4 to half turn then tighten the lock nut up and that should stiffen ur steering back up

 

and replace the rag joint.

 

Before adjusting the gear-box, I'd check all the tie-rod ball-joints.
Have someone move the steering wheel back & forth over the
"loose" travel, and see what moves most, the steering box input
shaft vs. the pitman arm, or pitman arm vs. axle steering arm.

Good luck,
kk

 

You have to check out the steering on a lift, most likely a centerlink but could be an idler arm or inner and outer tie rods or all of it.

 

Hey man I got same car with same problem . I Just got finished within last couple months with ball joints, struts, and alignment. My steering was okay, but they told me same thing about steering box when I got it aligned. Were you able to figure yours out yet ?
