DSE Steering Shaft Kit - Vibration Reducer - Stock Column - DSE Steering Gear (1979 - 1987 Chevrolet C10 / GMC C15) - 092541DS
Get a tighter, more precise connection between the steering wheel and front tires with the Detroit Speed 092541DS Steering Shaft Kit. Engineered for 1979 - 1987 Chevrolet C10 and GMC C15 trucks using the factory steering column and Detroit Speed steering gear, this upgrade eliminates the original rag joint assembly in favor of a telescopic intermediate shaft and precision U-joints. Removing the factory rag joint helps deliver firmer, more direct steering characteristics while also improving underhood clearance.
Detroit Speed designed the 092541DS to sharpen steering response without making your square-body unnecessarily harsh. The included U-joint with vibration damper helps significantly reduce vibration transmitted through the steering wheel while maintaining the more precise steering connection created by eliminating the rag joint. Detroit Speed manufactures its steering coupler U-joints from high-quality steel using CNC machining technology, while staked needle-bearing caps similar to OEM automotive U-joints help prevent loosening and adjustment problems. The vibration-reducing design can also help increase the overall service life of steering components.
