Re: Steering shaft

As soon as you get some more in ready to go I will take one. I am in Los Angeles zip 91423. Is there anything else I will need to install this or does it just "bolt on" so to say?

I just put mine on a few months ago. I put one on my el camino, and one on my typhoon. They are a true bolt on... Take yours off, put the new one on. Fairly easy swap and well worth it.

Damn, that is good to hear. My steering is so loose!!! I cant wait.A mechanic was saying that I needed to rebuild my front end and didnt think so. Come on here and there is the answer. Mike campbells write up about repairing a window and giving part numbers saved me from a guy telling me that it needed a new motor installed for $300. cost me $10 bucks to fix. Thank you!!!!!!!

Re: Steering shaft

My steering was super loose too. The steering shaft helped a bunch but changing to a zq8 steering box was a night and day difference. I am going to highly recomend that if you have a lot of play in your steering, upgrade the steering box!

So are you saying that I should do the box and the shaft? I was reading and is it simply a zq8 steering box or is there any other info, i dont want the stop to be different and run into tire rub?

thanks

Re: Steering shaft

Do you have a syclone or a typhoon? I think the typhoon gets a better upgrade with the zq8 box but both trucks get a great upgrade from the shaft. I will have more available next week!

Absolutely change to zq8 box if you can. You will have to change the pitman arm on the zq8 box to one for a typhoon but other than that it is a direct bolt on and the best thing for steering and handling. I am running 9.5 inch wide 18in rims on my lowered truck and there isn't any issue with tire rub. The combo of the zq8 and steering shaft was an awesome upgrade! :tup:

Re: Steering shaft

You guys won't be disappointed this is a great swap, I think I put mine on in 15mins and it was a big difference compared to my worn out shaft. Aaron you still alive, busy I see.

Re: Steering shaft

I am definitely going to do this. Just a question because I am a noob. What tools are needed for this swap?

Re: Steering shaft

a small hammer, a 1/4drive ratchet with 10mm, 11mm, and a 15 mm. It took me 10 min with the top of the motor off. mind you thats with almost seized bolts and really greasy shaft.
