Thanks Gene, unfortunately this is a rotational type squeak, it's most of the time, straight line, and not very loud. I will be re-checking the brakes and u-joints first. I already removed the emergency brakes.
So far the Steeroids kit installation is going fine but they sent an incorrect high-pressure hose so it's on hold until that is resolved.

But the kit is awesome! I just returned from a long drive up the California coast to the Monterey Historics. The car is an incredible joy to drive now. Adding the new Momo steering wheel made a huge difference as well.
All I need are modern seats and A/C and I'll no longer envy C5s or M-roadsters.

Wade: The only visible numbers I see are arranged like this:
"8 3 062" and then there is a very large 'B' on the steering shaft boss.
I hope this helps, I don't recall seeing any other numbers before installing it.
I understand that these racks are the same used in many mid-eighties and early nineties GM vehicles.
By the way - The steering is vastly improved over the stock set up :cool:

Did you fab your own brackets for the rack? And do you mean that the tie rods are from a lumina or the steering shaft and u-joint or both. How is the lock to lock compared to the original box. Thanks
