Was wondering what the solution to loose steering shaft is. It's the little joint right at the steering box imput shaft. It has a set of peanuts with some springs. Do I have to change the whole shaft at this point. Thx for any help.

That would be the stock rag joint your looking at. Order up the borgeson u-joint shaft. It tightens up the steering feeling and is much safer. My stock steering joint got so bad that it would send me straight until I grabbed 2-3 revolutions of the wheel. Almost got into a few accidents with it like that and I ordered up the borgeson shaft ASAP. No issues since.

Thx for the help, Mine is now 1/8 of a wheel turn each way before it starts to steer. It's getting a little dangerous and annoying. Don't want to end up like this.......

That stupid joint cost me my very fist diesel on 1st gen i rolled. It was failing when i bought it and it was replaced and the new lasted about a month then it broke and truck rolled over. Get the u-joint replacement asap. Not sure why it hasn't been recalled....

I found that Borgeson part number is BG940 The kit is supposed to come with the slip shaft, ujoint, and necessary hard ware. Local aftermarket parts supplier just quoted me $241.99. Ouch...
