Is there anything wrong with the Ididit rag joint? It's not cheap, more than the Ames even. But, I've decided to get an Ididit column because the column I have is not tilt wheel and the bearings or bushings inside are shot. Since I do not have a car that's remotely stock, I'm not worried about having a stock column. We have put Ididit columns in other restorations we have done and have liked them for the most part. The only one we haven't been 100% happy with was the one we put in the 58 Impala, it was a little too long and sits a bit too close to the chest. The other thing I'm concerned about is the rag joint matching up to the column since I'm replacing it, so I am thinking the thing to do is get it all from the same source.

We have a local shop that specializes in early Camaros right down the road from me, and they also cater to us Firebird owners, even if they don't advertise it. If you want to look them up, they are called Firewheel Classics in Garland, TX.

Just want to make sure I'm not going to get something that'll fall apart in a few months, it was such a pain to get the steering gear out of the car to begin with!

Oh, and PSC Performance Steering hooked me up big time on the rebuild on the steering gear. It looks great and I finally expect no leaks or slop!
