This shaft is actually better than the original factory shaft: it has no cloth boot and is more responsive. I did have to cut it down to size, however, to fit my 1989 Chevy 2500 Silverado (5-6 inches) and wish the instructions had discussed that possibility. It was a little nerve wracking to cut such an expensive part, knowing if I was wrong about the fit, it was not refundable. I am really glad I bought and installed this shaft.

I own a 1989 C1500 standard cab. I was a lil skeptical using this steering shaft. I must say it’s a must have for the older trucks with the rag steering shaft. You do have to cut the shaft for proper installation. The shaft will be to long. Really it’s simple common sense to install. No more play in the steering shaft forever!

Make sure you spray a coat of paint, the raw metal will rust very easily! Other than that tip, I highly recommend this shaft!
