I have a '66 that originally had non-power steering. The front suspension (including upper and lower control arms, spindles, and steering arms) was swapped with parts from a '70 Olds to get the disc brake setup from a power steering model. Unfortunately, I no longer have the original steering arms.

Recently, I upgraded to an SPC upper and lower control arm setup, but now the tie rods are too long. Before modifying anything (I’ve read that some aftermarket tie rods can be longer than stock), I need to clarify whether there are different steering arms for power and non-power steering cars. The steering arms currently in the car have a slight bend towards the inside.

If the original steering arms were straight, that could explain the issue with the tie rods. If anyone has a non-power steering car, can you let me know if your steering arms are straight or have a slight bend towards the center of the car?

Thanks,
DTM
