Either way, I guess changing a complete steering system, to either a Jeep box, Steeroids, or other modified stock rack system...is gonna be hard, and will involve off-Corvette parts. I say go for it if you like it.

The steeroids seems flimsy. The tie rods bolt onto 1/8" plate it looks like.

Gauge can be bought for 180 dollars use it and then dump it on ebay for 140 bucks. It fairly simple to fix the bump steer. But norval's way is a bit harder because he fixed both bump steers.

I'm buying a gauge soon when I convert the front end to solid.

Maybe he should drive it sans body. That would look wild...like a Vette sand rail.

I've actually seen a car cut in half showing the chassis and the body. It was completely ncrs besides it being cut in half. It was pretty wild. I'll try to remember his name becuase he has pics on his site along with some race cars andl-88's he owns.

Did the reliability of the newer Saginaw pumps get better? C3 pumps may fail with both Hydroboost and Steeroids...but what about a newer GM style like off a C4 or '90's Camaro?

Why's it for sale? Not happy with it or changed you mind before even installing it?

In the parts section he said he sold the car it was going into and the buyer didn't want the steeroids. Steeroids still in an unopend box but too heavy to ship.
Good deal if i didn't go with the jeep box.

Thank you for the complement, but I put more time on customers Corvettes. I hope to get enough time to get the glass work finished this summer.
