<VV> quick steering arms

[kcorvair]

I would get the proper arms for 65-69 you don't want to mess with steering. I have a 65 Quick Steering box& arms on a Corsa I own it works well. I have just aftermarket arms on my 67 500 and I'm on my 3rd Steering box in 12 years say 5000miles/ year. I'm not happy with those but never removed them yet. I have 215 60x14 tires on that car and the arms/ tires just tear up boxes for me. Sent from my T-Mobile 5G Device

Maybe the "stop" is slightly different.Frank DuValOn 3/19/2025 10:50 AM, Frank DuVal wrote:> You will find the aftermarket arms are probably too fast, as they mess > up the Ackerman angles of the tie rods/idler/steering pittman arm > relationship.
