Maybe true, but new is better than worn out. I am not a mechanic, but I am  pretty sure about that. Thanks for the response, but your post does not help me.  I wanted to know if it could be anything other than the ball joints.

Already took the left tie rod loose.  As far as I can tell, the ball joints look to be the only thing that could keep the wheel from turning freely, but the ball joints are new. Obviously they are binding for some reason.
The front brake conversion kit I bought was Street Anchor conversion kit from Camaro Central and included new spindles.  The new ball joints came from Napa. Is there any reason these ball joints shouldn't work with the the new spindles? 

68 SS/RS. I basically replaced all suspension components on the car. I also converted the front drums to disc.
Two different alignment shops were unable to get my steering to return properly. Basically almost not at all.
Today decided to try and figure out what is going on. Once the car was on a lift, I realized I could not budge the front wheels right or left. Took the tie rod loose on the driver's side wheel, as well is Pittman arm from the steering box.  You can still hardly turn the driver's side wheel,  just by itself,to the right or left!
Incredibly stiff. No wonder the car's steering won't return.  Does anyone have an idea as to why the steering could be so incredibly stiff?   

Mine is not working. Noticed I have later model alternator with internal regulator.  Appears it is supposed to utilize a dash warning light only if it is not charging? Can I get it to work with my console gauge somehow?

Thanks!

Does anyone know where I can find a legend to decipher all the codes and symbols for a 1968 Camaro?

Thank you Kevin.  I did notice the new console harness has a ground wire with a larger than normal washer like connector on it.  I guess I could ground it to the body using the large bolt that secures the lower console case to the tunnel. Thanks again.

Hello - My first post so please excuse me if this is a dumb question.  Finally retired and have time to do things I really want to do!
Working on a 1968 SS/RS. 4 sp console gauges. I have been dealing with an electrical issue for several weeks with no luck. Cannot get the Temp or the Volt gauges to work.  Have new gauges, new gauge harness.  I have the gauges grounded to each other correctly as well as the short ground wire on the back of the temp gauge. I was trying to ensure all the gauges were working before putting the console back together.

Does the entire gauge cluster also need to be installed and grounded to the tunnel in order for the gauges to work?  Thanks for any help you can provide.
