DSE Steering Shaft - OEM Column - 1-Inch DD Output (1993 - 2002 Chevrolet Camaro / Pontiac Firebird with DSE or OEM LS Rack & Pinion) - 092537DS
Tighten up the steering connection in your fourth-generation F-Body with the Detroit Speed 092537DS Steering Shaft Kit. Designed for 1993 - 2002 Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird applications using the OEM steering column with a 1-inch DD output and a Detroit Speed or OEM LS rack and pinion, this kit replaces the factory rag joint connection for improved steering feel. It is also an ideal solution when converting an original LT1 or V6 Camaro or Firebird to an LS engine and compatible rack-and-pinion steering configuration.
Detroit Speed engineers its steering coupler U-joints using modern CNC machining technology and high-quality steel. Staked needle-bearing caps, similar to those used in OEM automotive U-joints, help prevent loosening and adjustment issues. Part number 092537DS includes a 7-1/2-inch-long steering shaft with 3/4-inch-36 splines on both ends, a 1-inch DD x 3/4-inch-36 column U-joint and the steering rack to 3/4-inch-36 U-joint required to complete the connection. The result is a purpose-built steering solution that eliminates a worn rag joint while providing the solid connection performance enthusiasts want from an upgraded F-Body steering system.
