Steering Box Upgrade
I'm looking for some guidance.
I'm upgrading my suspension in my 05 Z51 to LG GT 2 coilovers with front and rear sway bars.

I've own my car from day one off Kerbeck's showroom and the steering has always been a bit loose. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Dial on more caster and set the camber in the aggressive end of a c6z setup. There are no aftermarket boxes available, although there are modified spindles the drifters use for significantly quicker ratios.
ive raced corvettes for 30 years so I like the oem ratio. What exactly are you trying to improve?

i believe he means he can turn the wheel a little back and forth before the car starts to react to the input....
i've had this problem on other vehicles, but not either of my c6es....
unfortunately i have nothing productive to add.... good luck!

that isn't normal. Check the connection where the steering shaft bolts to the rack.... However it sounds like you might need a new rack. I don't think you need an upgrade, I think you need a repair/replacement.
Sorry I misunderstood your problem!
