How To Replace/Where To Find Tilt Steering Joint?

[Supercharged111]

My dually feels like the tilt joint up top is shot. Yes the rag joint is too, but this feels different. I'm wondering how the joint itself comes apart and where to find it? I went to GMPartsDirect and, while all the stuff is discontinued, they don't even show the joint itself to run down a part number, just the 2 shafts. Maybe I should be looking it up for a newer truck? I know someone here put a much newer wheel on their truck, was it @phatphuck?

Their diagrams and part listings have really gone downhill IMO. I use https://www.wholesalegmpartsonline.com/ for most things, but they also have a habit of removing discontinued part numbers entirely and other annoying stuff.

For really hard to find discontinued part numbers https://nemigaparts.com/cat_spares/epc/chevrolet/ usually works, but the website is a pain to navigate.

Yes I was going to ask if you meant the spherical joint at the upper shaft.

Mine came with one on the cts swap I did and it was same overall Dia as the original.

It kinda just snaps on and off if I remember right.

Sorry I was late to the party sounds like you found it.

Pay attention when you take it apart. It can be assembled upside down and your steering wheel will be too!

Ask me how I know...

Sounds like the 50/50/90 rule applies here.

If you have a 50/50 shot of getting it right, you have a 90% chance of getting it wrong.
