Re: GM Steering Shaft Upgrade
Hi MC87SS,
I PM'd you yesterday. I am interested in the mod as I recently purchased a set of SLP headers and I understand when installed the stock steering shaft on our cars will rub on the header. Which steering shaft is ideal to combat this issue. (GM or Jeep shaft?)

Re: GM Steering Shaft Upgrade
They all install the same.
The GM shaft is a nicer unit in my opinion.
Solid or rubber is personal preference.

Re: GM Steering Shaft Upgrade
FYI: I finally installed the bearing and shaft on my car. The bearing needed a 1" deep socket and a little tapping with the ratchet to get past a sticky spot. Bending the brake lines was a pain - more for future header clearance than required for the swap.
On a scale of 1-10 on parts swap difficulties, I rate it only a 1! Well, 1.5 for needing a dremel to notch the steering column for the new bolt.
