Customer video review of 1970-81 2nd Gen F-Body Camaro / Firebird Lightweight Chromoly Steering Column

This thing has made my Camaro even more of an autocross monster. Removing the rag joint let me open up the full potential of my Borgeson quick ratio box. Only feedback I have is the lower U-Joint set bolt runs the engines cross member. I got a 5/16 flat hex head and used lock tite to keep it in place. Easy fix but figured I’d share.

I love the column and the quick release hub! It is so much nicer than the spline one I used to have. Makes it so nice not having to put the wheel on and off a handful of times to get it aligned with the front tires like with the splined one. I can’t comment on the fit of the column because I have a 79’ Nova and ordered the 2cd gen Camaro column cause it looked the closest to mine. So I figured I’d have some fab work to do, but as far as how close it was to my car, not very. The angle of the fire wall plate was dif, and the dash mount about an inch low. Was no fault of the product or your company it’s just that my Nova was quite a bit different than the Camaro. All in all I love it and is a welcome addition to my race car. 😎

Another true 5 Star product. Super well made, very light, plug and play. I literally couldn’t believe it bolted up without issue. First time on this multi year build that has happened. Wish it came with hardware but probably not worth the effort for these guys. A trip to the hardware store is easy enough.
