DSE Steering Shaft - Ididit Column - 3/4-Inch DD Output (1969 - 1976 Chevrolet Corvette with SpeedRay) - 092526DS
Complete the steering connection on your SpeedRay-equipped C3 Corvette with the Detroit Speed 092526DS Steering Shaft Kit. Designed for 1969 - 1976 Chevrolet Corvette applications using the Detroit Speed SpeedRay front suspension and an Ididit steering column with a 3/4-inch DD output shaft, this kit provides the components required to connect the steering column to the SpeedRay rack-and-pinion input. It is a purpose-built solution for properly integrating the column and rack rather than piecing together a steering shaft from unrelated components.
Detroit Speed builds its steering coupler U-joints from high-quality steel using modern CNC machining technology. Staked needle-bearing caps, similar to those used in OEM automotive U-joints, help prevent loosening and adjustment problems. The kit includes a 14-inch-long 3/4-inch DD steering shaft along with the required 3/4-inch DD x 3/4-inch DD and 17mm-36 x 3/4-inch DD U-joints. Because steering-column and vehicle combinations can affect the required intermediate-shaft length, Detroit Speed provides instructions for measuring and determining the proper final shaft length during installation.
