Thanks!

Re: Jeep Steering Shafts

I run a Jeep shaft in my car. The only binding issue I ever had was when a wire got wrapped up around the shaft. I would take the Jeep shaft over the stupid stock rag joints any day. Only mod I did for install was grind out a slight dimple in the car side steering shaft to make room for the pinch bolt, other than that it is pure bolt on magic.

I never heard of any binding issues with the shaft. I had mine for years, never had a problem. Where/what is binding?

Both are basically the same, biggest difference I would say is how they mount to the car. (direction). The Astro shaft is modified to fit our cars, jeep shaft is a direct bolt in. E-mail sent..

Re: Jeep Steering Shafts

My shaft has a ton of play at the slip joint. When you turn the wheel the shaft turns about an 1/8 of a turn before the second part of the shaft. Any thoughts?

Re: Jeep Steering Shafts

I noticed a bit of rotational play in some of the jeep shafts. And also in one of the Astro shafts, but the others were tight.

Did you grease the assembly? Im guessing the epoxy or whatever it is inside eliminates any play. After all, there has to be SOME space since its not an interference fit.

I took a BFH, and a punch, and just caved in the side of the bigger side a TINY bit on one that I have and it took it away.

That's not a bad idea. I just don't want to pin it because I still want it to collapse if I hit the wall at 130mph at the track.

I had an incident this weekend involving a 15 foot ladder and gravity so I've got plenty of time to think about this stuff until my bones heal

Re: Jeep Steering Shafts

Oh that stinks!! Hope you have a quick recovery. I hate ladders... Im not afraid to be on the roof...but having to use the ladder to get there is what stops me!

I thought about putting the bigger side in my press and squeezing it a bit. I mean...its fairly tight to begin with, so it wouldnt take much to remove some of the play.

I wouldnt pin it either. If you squeeze or peen, it should still easily collapse in an impact. If you come up with something or try something, please post up!
