steering box tore from frame...what now?
I need help in locating a reinforcement plate that goes between the frame and the steering gear box. Mine is torn extemely bad from the frame. The car is an 85 and it has had a crack welded before. I could probably cut my own plate from some 1/8 plate that I have but I sure would like to save the time from fabricating one. I got this car very cheap and now I know why. I have checked Jegs, Summit, JC Whitney. I have yet to find anything. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

VERY common problem with the 3rd gens.
i think that is why they started putting the "wonder bar" reinforcement on the IROCs...
i would have it rewelded, then install a "wonder bar" to prevent future problems. check out www.globalwest.com i think they sell them
