I always wondered where that annoying rattle was coming from.....
I never could figure out where that annoying rattle was coming from the past few years....Today I found it & now I feel pretty dumb....It was the steering shaft!!!!!!!!!....Guess I should have done some reading cause I didn't realize how crappy the steering shafts are in these trucks....I don't have the steering clunk that a lot of people complain about, but it just rattles.....I'm guessing after reading that the only way to fix it is with a new Borgeson steering shaft....Are they hard to put in?

when you put your borgeson steering shaft in did you use the existing flat spot on the steering box connection for the set screw or did you have to flatten out a new spot on the steering box for your borgeson shaft?
I was just having some problems getting my steering centered using the original spot on the steering box for the set screw....
Thanks...Mike

I had a couple that was really irritating. One was the small plastic shield just in front of the steering wheel, under the bezel, sort-of. The other was the plastic rivets that holds the plastic wheel well liner in had broken off and it was flopping on wash-board areas.

ok. thanks for the info. i appreciate it....my steering box had a flat spot built into it and I wasn't sure if most folks just used it or had to make one....i noticed that the paper that came with the borgeson shaft said it may be necessary to have to flatten a spot for the set screw.....
