New steering shaft
 
Does anybody manufacture a new u joint steering shaft? I seem to have a little slop in my 75k original mile car. Id rather not go the jeep/astrovan route even if its cheaper.

Here is the setup I have in my '85, not sure who manufactures it but I can give you the dealer info, part numbers and cost if you are interested.

Is that first shaft solid? Or am I just overlooking the collapsible portion?

Detroit Speed Engineering sells a replacement that looks like the pictures above that I bought from Summit /racing, very nice unit. I took the astro shaft off and replaced it with the DSE unit, pricey but worth it in my opinion.

Do you still have this? I’ve been searching for a replacement for mine but I cannot come up with anything this “style”

Mine mounts to the column with a 1”DD and a side bolt that threads through a notch on the side to both pinch and prevent sliding. The u joints look just like these pictured but I can’t find a part number anywhere

Astro maybe?
