1982 - 1989 Chevy Camaro with Tilt Steering Column Ignition Rack & Housing Repair Kit

This tilt steering column housing and repair kit is the most common replacement pieces that need repair in an attempted theft of a vehicle. The ignition rack gears can also wear out over time.

This kit features:

A Black ignition cylinder and column housing
A 6 piece ignition rack, spring and pin set
Built to strict quality control standards
Fits vehicles with tilt steering columns only
Does not fit models with Air Bags
This GM Steering Column Rack & Housing Repair Kit makes a great replacement and has good cost savings over dealer units.

1A Auto Parts Offers FREE SHIPPING On All Orders.

I am GLAD to see this kit. It would have helped me out tremendously a few years ago on my 1987 Trans Am. I've got a car now that would need it, if I wasn't scrapping it.

These fit all kinds on GM applications.The OE ones tend to break over time.

Re: 1982 - 1989 Chevy Camaro with Tilt Steering Column Ignition Rack & Housing Repair

Question on this: Is there a reason it doesn't work with airbag equipped vehicles? Is it due to the difference in the length of the plastic housing? I do not have the airbag or any of the airbag hardware installed in my column and several of the screw holes are stripped out in mine and its got some nasty sun fading and a couple cigarette burn marks. This would really help me freshen up the steering column and if its shorter than the airbag column as I suspect it is, it will make installation of a Grant steering wheel easier as I won't have to cut or grind anything down.

Would this work for me in a non-airbag application?

If it has tilt steering and no air bags it would fit.

But my car originally had air bag hardware. It doesn't now because I removed it. Near as I can tell the only difference between my column and an older column now is that mine has a slightly longer plastic housing on the end piece. If that's all there is too it then this kit is just what I need.

I'm not sure on what the difference is between the two.It may be the length of the steering shaft.
