Nova + ATS = what steering arm?
Hey guys, I wanted to order the AFX spindles and Touring Classics brakes for my 69 Nova today, but I wasn't sure if I had a good steering arm to use. I know I could just get the adjustable bumpsteer set up, but money's tight for just the spindles and brakes.
Will I notice a difference regardless of the length of steering arm? Or is one length better than another? I've got stock drum brakes if that makes a difference.

Nobody? I even emailed ATS and haven't gotten a response.

I would think all would work just fine. Shorter will effect ratio.

Hmm. Another question: if I bought the adjustable bumpsteer setup, how long would that really last for a daily driver? The Nova is my only car, and I don't know if I'd like the idea of having heim joints to wear out.

I believe the spindles are designed to eliminate bumpsteer using stock Nova steer arms. A and G-body cars require their billet arms because the spindle was designed for bumpsteer reduction on the F & X body, which would make it worse on A & G with stock arms.
