High Ratio Steering Box

2 Attachment(s)

Howdy all!
I have a 1979 Monte Carlo that I have done several suspension upgrades to over the past several years. The one thing somebody mentioned was upgrading the steering box to a high ratio one from a 1985-1988 Monte Carlo SS. I've also read that there is a chance that my car already has this steering box. How do you tell? I took a picture of the steering box and I scanned the build sheet from my car. Any help is appreciated.

hey

It might if it has f41 suspension(does it have a rear sway bar) ive never seen the ss style box in a 79. Another option if you are using wider wheels and tires is a box from an iroc-z with 16" wheels(limits tire rub turning) :)
