Hi all,
I have some play in the joints on the shaft that connects the steering box in the firewall to the steering column. (I know, I know, sounds like a personal problem). All kidding aside, the joints are at either end of the shaft and the shaft itself is a little over a foot long. Can the joints be purchased or does the entire shaft need to be replaced? Are new parts available? I've checked the usual suspects and didn't see them listed anywhere. What are they actually called? If they aren't available, anybody have a shaft and the joints in good condition they want to sell? Thanks for any help you can give. Randy "Car 54 Here I Am" |

The u joints are no longer available from Porsche. The top joint usually wears out. The lower one usually is good. You should be able to go to the want ads and get some. I should have several if you need some. Have you checked the steering column bearings? The lower is usally good and the top is gone. Depending on the your cars year, there are several options. These bearings will make you think you have U joint problems. I suggest you check them FIRST.
