Re: WRC "astro" steering shaft
I've had several folks ask what needs to be done to put it into their cars. here's my response:
my steering shafts are 100% modified and ready to be put into your car. you will need to make one "accepting mod" on the car to allow the shaft to work. you will need to "machine" a reciever groove on the column to allow the pinch bolt to pass by. this can be done easily with a rotary file on a dremel tool. reference the attached picture.

Re: WRC "astro" steering shaft
What do these steering shafts do exactly? Better turn rotations? Shorter than stock? And what are the benefits?

Very satisfied with this product! I just installed it and it eliminated all of the wandering steering feeling I had. Very nice product!!

Re: WRC "astro" steering shaft
it's got a rubber damper near the piece that connects to the box. it is supposed to help decrease any additional road noise that may be transferred through the steering. some people like them, others say they aren't worth anything. i've not found a benefit of one over the other.

How large does the groove need to be? The pic in post #19 isn't showing up for me
