Re: GM Steering Shaft Upgrade
The set screw should be snug to take out any play. Trust me that little screw won't stop anything in a collision.

Re: GM Steering Shaft Upgrade
I'm considering this. I'm from Tally too. This wouldn't be a bad idea when I'm replacing my steering box. Do you need mine as a core?

Re: GM Steering Shaft Upgrade
Responded & Shipped.
Thanks.
This brings up a point, i sell these on many different message boards as well as through e-mail.
I try to sell on a 1st come 1st serve basis so i have to go through many PMs and E-Mails to see who contacted me 1st before i respond with payment info. I do my best to respond quickly but sometimes life & work get in the way.
All out of this batch, PM me to get on the list for the next batch.

Re: GM Steering Shaft Upgrade
I have a new product for you die-hard GM fans that refuse to put a Chrysler part on your car. I have done some research and testing and now have available a GM steering shaft upgrade. In addition to being a GM part they also have a set screw you tighten after installation to eliminate all shaft movement, they have a metal bushing instead of the worn out mostly broken plastic bushing on the inner shaft and for those of you with large tube headers the shaft is the opposite of the Jeep shaft so the small end attaches to the steering column allowing the most available clearance.
This is the end that attaches to the steering column:
This is the steering box end, note how nice the u-joint is:
Set screw in the center:
Metal bushing in lieu of plastic:
As with everything i sell these will be prepped, painted, greased and ready to install.
These GM units will be $70 shipped to the lower 48.
I only have 2 of these in stock so hurry.
PM me if your interested, please title it GM Shaft.

Re: GM Steering Shaft Upgrade
I have a question, I've purchased a shaft from you awhile back, and I like the fit and finish of the product, but are these units CLOCKED? I saw a youtube vid that states that they need the end ground down so it can be knocked off repositioned slid back on and tack welded, do you perform this operation on every unit?
If you are having an issue please feel free to PM me and i will help get it straight.

Re: GM Steering Shaft Upgrade
OK Just making sure everything was good.
This was discussed in an earlier post.
I clean them up, remove the column end, re-clock it 90 degrees, press it back on and tack weld it just to make sure its not going anywhere. Then i clean the bolt threads, spread the ends & test fit on a steering column, sand & paint them gloss black. Before shipping i grease the inside of the shaft, wrap both pieces in foam and stretch wrap for shipping.
