Anyone know if there's a non-telescopic non-tilt non-memory steering column from any other toyota that is a bolt in swap for our car? Like from a corolla or celica from the same era. It seems a lot of stuff from those two cars bolts right onto ours and is much lighter or simpler.
I don't care if the switches aren't the same, I can rewire that stuff.
I was pulling the column out of an 86' CRX Si today and that got me thinking about this. The whole thing weighs about 5 pounds because it's non-tilt and non-telescopic and it's actually built stronger than ours (the shaft is thicker because it's manual steering).
The column for our car weighs at least 4 times as much with all that memory tilt stuff (mine doesn't work and I don't know if it ever did because nothing is broken) and it has that sloppy slip joint in it thanks to the telescopic feature, which I could do without because I feel like it makes the steering sloppy and numb.
