      The steering boxes themselves also have stops built into them. The desirable FE2 third gen Camaro steering box for example has 64 degrees of pitman arm travel, whereas a stock Chevelle steering box has 87 degrees of travel. This difference will definitely be noticeable in parking situations. You generally run into problems when putting a "small car" steering box in a "big car." Big cars need more pitman arm travel to maintain a reasonable turning circle due to their longer wheelbase.

      There's a table with all the details here: https://www.hotrod.com/articles/ccrp...g-box-upgrade/

      Thank you, definitely the internal stop difference in my case as I mentioned earlier, only difference then from now is the box.
