Re: Steering shaft upgrade Isn't there an issue with steering wheel alignment with these? I may be wrong but I remember reading some threads a while back that debated whether these wound up with the wheel 90 degrees off. If you can provide information clearing that up I'm interested in one. Thanks. |

Re: Steering shaft upgrade Bump!!!!!!!!!! |
Re: Steering shaft upgrade So now what's the benefit of running the isolator instead of the straight shaft? I want to eliminate all possible slop from my steering and I have had plenty of troy le with my rag joints in the past |

I want to eliminate all possible slop from my steering and I have had plenty of troy le with my rag joints in the past I have not personally installed or driven a car with the isolator yet, I would assume its not much difference just a preference. I can tell you with the regular shaft I was very pleased with the feel of the steering wheel and slop was eliminated for sure. I have some of each if interested let me know! |
Re: Steering shaft upgrade Bump I know you guys need one of these. Have a few left. |
Re: Steering shaft upgrade Have one in my car totally worth it. |

Re: Steering shaft upgrade Just getting around to installing the shaft... real solid piece! I'm having trouble getting the steering wheel to be dead center. When I compare the old to new shaft, when the gearbox side has the flat part on the bottom the old shaft would be 90 degrees at the steering column. The new shaft would have the steering column part be up straight up and down. I'll try to get pictures tomorrow. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! |

Been away from the site for a bit but I do have 4 shafts modified, painted and ready to go if any one is interested in them. I will also be making a trip this weekend to get some more. Thanks |

Hmmm replacing the shaft itself wouldn't reduce play unless yours was bent or something. Replacing the rag joint (the piece that couples the shaft to the steering box) with a solid ujoint for example would make the steering more responsive. If your rag joint had play in the first place then it will obviously make a bigger effect. Sent from my iPhone |

Re: Steering shaft upgrade What's your trick for getting the shaft out of the van? I have it off the steering wheel side and the bolt off the input shaft on the steering box... Tried to pry it open with a hammer and chisel. Had to give up as the yard was closing and it was a blizzard. Its one with an isolator. |
