DSE Steering Shaft Kit - Vibration Reducer - DSE Steering Gear (1968 - 1972 Chevrolet C10 / GMC C15) - 092543DS
Put a tighter, more precise connection between the steering wheel and front tires of your classic GM truck with the Detroit Speed 092543DS Steering Shaft Kit. Designed for 1968 - 1972 Chevrolet C10 and GMC C15 applications using the Detroit Speed steering gear, this kit replaces the factory rag joint and coupler with a telescopic intermediate steering shaft and U-joint assembly. Eliminating the original rag joint creates firmer, more precise steering characteristics while also freeing up valuable underhood clearance.
Detroit Speed engineered the 092543DS to improve steering response without turning every bit of road vibration into unwanted feedback at the steering wheel. The included vibration-reducing U-joint helps control harshness and vibration while maintaining the more direct steering connection provided by eliminating the factory rag joint. The kit combines a telescopic intermediate shaft with the required universal-joint connections, including a 3/4-inch-30 steering gear connection. It is a purpose-built upgrade for drivers who want to get more steering precision out of their classic C10 or C15 while retaining a refined feel on the street.

FAQs
What does the DSE 092543DS Steering Shaft Kit replace?
The 092543DS replaces the factory rag joint and steering coupler assembly on applicable 1968 - 1972 GM C10 and GMC C15 trucks. Eliminating the rag joint creates a firmer, more precise steering connection and improves underhood clearance.
Does the DSE 092543DS include a vibration reducer?
Yes. Detroit Speed incorporates a vibration-reducing U-joint specifically so the improved steering feel gained by eliminating the factory rag joint does not come at the expense of excessive harshness or steering-wheel vibration.
Is the DSE 092543DS the correct steering shaft for a 1967 C10?
No. Detroit Speed's current manufacturer data identifies 092543DS for 1968 - 1972 GM C10 truck applications. A 1967 application should not be assumed to use this steering shaft without confirming the specific steering system and required components.
