Just curious if theres a kit to tighten up my steering on a 70 chall,I use to have a 79 trans am that steered sooo nice and i could really drive that thing!!! Currently i have the stock steering box with manual steering which is a lil crazy with the 512 stroker and had a couple near crashes.Also i want to upgrade the braking. Of course the cheapest was would be best but fire away. thanks

Replace the engine, and slow down and it shouldn't crash.
THEN fix the brakes, and it shouldn't crash.
THEN put in a performance steering box.
If it's almost crashed a couple times already, then don't drive it until it's fixed...
brakes, steering, engine, in that order.
Or buy a better driver...

Doc Diff can sell you what you need for brakes, front and rear. Borganson Steering Box, or another one of those, can fix your steering problem. A Richard Petty Driving School, or another one of those places, can help with controlling the car.

nothing to do with the driver,i've been driving like an @[Edited by Moparts - Family Friendly Site - Keep it clean] since i had a license.Had a few fast cars,both times it was a chunk of sh!tty pavement that broke loose and the car went snakey.
Prob spend 2-3k on brakes and steering upgrade,what ya have in mind?

...or you have a thrust alignment issue. I'd make sure the rear is square and parallel.
A step up to power steering would be a big help too. You just can't move a manual steering box wheel with those wide front tires fast enough when it starts getting away from you.
Man isn't that the truth!!
I went to power from manual on my Cuda last year and it is the single best improvement I have made.
manual box is 5 1/2 turns lock to lock, and power is 3 1/2 turns. That is a huge difference.
Other then that I would ensure that none of the suspension components are worn out and go from there.
