250i6 mods for Highway Driving

Rebuilt Stock Steering Column or Aftermarket?
I would go for the original rebuild one. I ordered a tilt column (Ididit) for my C20 when there was a -150$ on orders over 1000$ at summit. Original column is shot and non tilt. It's great quality and sitting on the shelf waiting for installation. But I still would use the original rebuild...- ali_c20

1973 - 1987 Step Side fender splash aprons
