Other parts needed for ridetech 68 camaro install

[paulk68]

So I have a bare subframe and the complete level 2 ridetech kit including true turn for my 68 camaro I am going to start installing soon. i am going to use the dertoit speed sterring box.

My question is before I start are there any other parts/pieces I am going to need that do not come in the ridetech kit. Since I am going to be switching to power steering will i need a new idler or pitman arm? if so what do you guys recommend also should I use new upper control arm bolts and stuff like that?

second I plan on pulling off the suspension to paint the frame so is there anything that i should not do on test fit install?

Thanks

Most of the hardware is in the kit. First thing you should do is pull out the instructions and go through all your parts. Put the bolts you can identify into
corresponding parts.
The pitman arm will have to be change to a power unit, the idler shows to be the same but i know there are different version. http://www.pozziracing.com/camaro_st...eering_linkage

What engine do you have? Some headers may not clear the tru turn system.

I haven't had any issues with frame clearence but it would not hurt to go through thr motions to mock it up. I mock everything up...just for fun.

we just did this kit on 2 first gens. Yes I would order up new upper a-arm bolts and locking nuts. Everything else was really compete. We ended up replacing Pitman, idler and tie rods locally with Moog components. We did not use the true turn.
