New to the forum and new owner: 68 Camaro, 396 engine, auto trans, QA1 suspension. The power steering fluid was leaking from the rack and pinion boot. Turning left and right became very difficult when the car was moving slow. But much easier at medium and high speeds. Fixed the leak but the...

I looked many times for this solution, and all I am finding are rebuilding what I currently have. I am wanting to see what other options are available to have tilt and cruise built in. I have a 1968 Camaro. So here it goes. Does anyone know of any donor cars that a steering column can be sourced...

Just wanted to give some feedback on Lee Power Steering and my 3rd Gen Steering box, I bought one of the rebuilt 3rd gen steering boxes from Autozone and decided that I would send it to Lee Power Steering to have them verify that it was a 12:1 and that it had the heavy duty parts to give you the...

Hey all. I just got a sweet new set of wheels and tires. I had an alignment just before putting them on and haven't had one since. It tracks very true and feels good under 60mph or so. After that the steering gets pretty darty and twitchy, and it make me nervous. Am I missing something? How can...

Hello everyone- i installed an original 67 tilt column and I am having one heck of a time getting the horn to work properly. Can I use the original cancel cam from my non-tilt.* I put a new one that I got from Ricks in (HR-17).* The horn works when you press the button, but when I turn the wheel...

Hey guys- My head is spinning on this one. I redid full front susp including 3rd gen steering box. Car had factory nontilt column. All susp and gear box parts went in smoothly, with steering wheel lined up perfectly with the nontilt column. I've just installed a rebuilt tilt column and wood...

Hey guys. Posting on behalf of a friend who owns a '69 Convertible, power steering. When the wheel is cut hard right or left, it squeaks horribly. This happens when stopped as well as in motion. The steering feels fine otherwise, no loss of power assist at any time. We tend to avoid cutting...

This is the story of my journey to having a 68 Camaro that does not steer like a school bus. I know there are many posts on this topic but hopefully this one is a great start!! There are so many problems with the drivetrain and chassis of these old muscle cars, where does one even begin...

I have a 68 camaro with a 402 BB and limited space, I'm considering putting the power steering back on it but since switching to the BB nothing old fits anymore. My alternator is mounted high on the driver side, so the box would probably need to be mounted lower for space problems, on the same...

My car is in the body shop with the front cap off. So, I thought it would be a great time to go from manual steering to power, since everything is in the open. I really don't know what to ask because the car is not right outside in the garage where I can check out everything. But... here goes...
