Hello Friends, This last weekend was the first day I have driven my project car In years. I am almost done with my project but ran into a problem with the steering. When turning the steering wheel it binds then it frees up with more pressure. I've done some research and found that there are two steering shafts available for this car. I believe the shaft I have is the longer of the 2. My shaft measures 14" or 35.5 cm, Can anyone tell me what is the length of the shorter shaft? Who knew a shorter shaft was better (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)
Has anyone shorten the longer steering shaft. Not sure if there is enough splines to shorten the shaft Thanks In Advance Al  |

As I recall when I had the tight spot in my steering there was a difference in the
lengts of the shafts. I just tried to compare the one in my car to those on hand.....no dice...I can't do it accurately in the car. My notches are clocked (I tought they were in line) and the problem is solved. I wish I could be more help. Sorry. |
