Ran into an old friend of mine today. Haven't seen him in about 15 years. He still has the 73 Camaro LT that he had when we were growing up and the bought a brand new 86 IROC that he still has as well. He had a problem with his steering box and it was replaced. He says it feels a lot different that the original. It doesn't have the firm road feel. THe questions is: is there a different steering box that went into the Iroc than what was in the sport or other Camaro's. If so, where can he get one?

I can't believe he still has both. I loved Camaro's all the more when he bought the 73. I wanted one ever since and after all those kids finally got mine in 99!!

Yes, it was different.

They had a fast ratio box....I put one in my 1969 RS/SS....I also owned an '86 IROC [Big Grin]

Doug is correct. I own an 86 IROC and have been the sole owner for 17 years and its still my baby. [Big Grin]

... same is true for the WS6 option on the T/A. I believe there was a 'Z' cast in the housing of the steering box itself.

Great info, thanks! Anyone know where he can still get one?
