Front suspension and steering box
I have searched and nothing really came with the guidelines I needed.
I'm still new and learning
I'm doing a large swap from a 88 Iroc into a 92 RS
What I'm swapping is the front suspension, everything was brand new
Will Everything match up right I've been told all the arms and all are the same,
I want to swap the steering box and column, A lot better ratio and the rs just sucks.
Now what will this include? Will it be easy bolt up and a lot of aligning.Will i need a different pump with more preasure?

The only difference in third gen parts from 82 to 92 is cosmetics and updates. They're all interchangeable.

Re: Front suspension and steering box
I recently got a rebuilt steering box from the local pick 'n pull from an IROC just cuz I knew they handle way better than RS's. I know it was rebuilt/replaced because it looks cleaner that most of the components still on the car including the pitman arm. Tonight I did dome research and found out I got the highly desirable XH box, so I went to look at my car that has the stock box AFAIK and came to find out that it has the same one in it, except that it might not be the XH but the WS and I know this because I have 16 inch IROC replicas and they rub a lot. So you might already have the quick ratio box but you would need to take a look on the numbers that are on top of the box itself!

Your 88 to 92 won't have any issues.
