Nothing I dislike about this unit. I'd like to get another one dor my Olds 442. Love the power coating, it lasted and shined even after putting the torch to it...adter cooling.

I upgraded my '93 S10 steering shaft with this one, works great, took about 2 hours to install. You'll need to Dremel a small notch on the upper column shaft to make clearance for the pinch bolt, take your time on this as you are only removing a small amount. I melted the plastic weld on the inside of the shaft using a torch, cleaned both halves of the shafts, greased the shafts and I purchased a accordion boot to seal the shafts. I also purchased longer full thread bolts M8-1.25 x 40 for the pinch bolts and nylock nuts to secure the pinch bolts. The Jeep toque specs are 33-35 ft lbs and I used Loctite. This is an excellent upgrade, highly recommended for 1st generation S10's.

Had to grind a little bit on steering box and same on steering column, there’s a really good YouTube on how to do it.I warmed it up too much and melted the plastic collar in the middle, created some slop in steering, drilled it while it was in the truckAnd put a small bolt through it with a locknut, steering is nice and tight

Sturdy piece. Can’t say how well it fits a Jeep, mine was bought to be modified into a 90s gm truck

Nicely finished, looks good. Problem was unit was shipped at fully extended length... and would NOT compress to allow installation. I ended up using a blow-torch to heat the outside tube + a lot of WD40 so that it would start sliding in and out, so I could complete the installation. As shipped from the factory, it was effectively useless. They could do better.

Simple installation when using the instructions from the factory service manual. The steering shaft was the proper length for a direct replacement on my '92 Jeep Cherokee XJ. The repair required dropping the steering gear box and fiddling with the steering box spacer. Total time for this job was 1.5 hours due to removing the air cleaner box and cleaning up the repair area.

Brand new steering shaft I used in my 1984 El Camino to replace the stock rag joint shaft. In order to install it, you must use one of those Bernz0matic propane torches you get in a hardware store to heat up the center of the shaft. This will melt the plastic 'goo' inside and allows the shaft to telescope in and out so you can install it. I spent a good 10 minutes heating the shaft hot enough so it would move. I tried a 'heat gun' but trust me, you need the torch. The paint on this is excellent and did not even dull with the torch application. This shaft did wonders for the steering. I had lots of free play due to the old worn rag joint. After installing this shaft, most of the slop is gone. The rest is due to the steering box itself and other steering components. A great bang for the buck upgrade!

I had to send the part back. It was not like the original, it did not telescope in and out for installation.
