Well, not that simple.

A standard production manual-steering Camaro used the same steering arms as a standard Camaro with power steering.

Z/28 equipment included fast-ratio manual steering. The arms were the same if it had optional power steering.

A Camaro SS ordered with power steering received the fast-ratio arms, same as a Z/28.

The pitman arm on the steering gear also differs; it's longer for fast-ratio steering. Also, power & manual pitman arms do not interchange.

N44 could be ordered with drum brakes; those steering arms are not the same as disc brake arms.

You sure Bill? My drum brake car has N44 and has the 875-876 arms?
