89 camaro steering column??
Question: Does anyone know any online websites or people who repair or have steering columns for an 89 RS camaro. I've got it in the shop right now because it wouldnt start but it was a simple short in something under the distributer cap, but when it was dead my roomate helped me push it off the road and he wanted to do the steering and the bush was needing replacement before anyways but he pushed way to hard and completely turned the whole column, ignition and all so it has to be completely replaced.
The shop it's in now has apparently called everyone they know in the southeast for one and no one seems to carry them anymore, but they're still looking and I'm just trying to look around as well.
Answers: Phone or visit any wrecker as to replace any steering column assembly is an everyday job for theft recoveries and/or accidents. I've done tons of these. If you don't have success with this, I would suggest you contact your insurance company or a body shop as they are the ones that can find these things pronto as these were the people that I dealt with all the time. Columns for the Z28 or anything similar are exactly the same as yours.
try advance auto parts they are now in the used parts business also ,and they are connected to thousand of places that have these parts,i know they can find one because the found me one for a 79 camaro last week,and it was fairly cheap also it cost me 150 for a real good used one with keys and all,so check with them they,ll be able to help you with this one,good luck with it.
Don't know about gettin a new one.
But, I did a search on
and came up w/ like three dozen or so in the SouthEast.
Oh yea, the search I did was for an Auto/tilt wheel.
Good luck!
the column for the RS and the IROC is the same and is interchangable the only difference is the tilt and that should not be a factor
Yes, the 89 iroc steering column will work. It may have additional features that your column did not originally come with, such as, cruise or inter mitten wiper control, but it will work.
yea they are interchangable, BUT you have an 89, the first year GM offerd the VATTS key, the one with the chip in it, you also have a module that will not send power to the dist if that key isnt in it, there was i THINK 5-8 different chips in the keys, here is the thing you can disable this one option involves finding out what resistance your chip is and putting a resistor in line, but anyway http://www.thirdgen.org should help you out, you may be lucky be able to use your old lock cylender and key, or some previous owner removed the chip system, i have an 89 and mine still has the chip in it and is all factory so im not to sure on the over ride process
