XJ Steering Shaft Upgrade (88-94 Trucks) 95+instructions on page 31

[TexasTeal95]

EVO has an extra joint in the steering shaft. This can allow the shaft to get out of line and can effect alignment. I replaced the rag joint in my 97, it is a lot better. It took out almost all of the slack.

Do you have a source and/or part number for the new rag joint? I have a XJ shaft that I haven't installed yet but I would like to replace my worn rag joint to have as a backup/spare steering shaft for a "just in case" situation. Or maybe if I decide to sell my truck later.

Here you go. I just replaced the rubber coupling on mine, and I found it @ Autozone

Well, I just attempted to fit an XJ shaft to my '92 C1500.
I got the old one out (with it's sloppy rag joint), only to discover that here in UK it seems that Jeep Cherokees with right hand drive use a different column, with a much smaller top shaft, which is way too small for my C1500.
Getting the pried-off GM shaft back on was a real pain.......
Guess I'll have to start searching all over again.
Most XJs here are RHD.....

OK, so I did my Jeep shaft yesterday, and am very happy with it. Took me 10 minutes after I melted the plastic out of the Jeep one. I dont think Ive ever done a mod that was so stupidly easy.

For 95+ trucks a 94-02 Dodge Ram lower steering shaft is supposedly a direct replacement for the Chevy lower shaft

What the hell is "EVO"?

What the hell is "EVO"?

Electronic Variable Orifice power steering. Boosts PS pressure at low speeds to make turning easier and then pulls pressure once you're up to speed so it's not too easy. Standard on GMT400s from '97 on up.
