Who sells a intermediate steering shaft??

[fabjunkie]

HI Guys any idea who sells a new steering shaft besides Borgeson? I want one with needle bearings in it, not a stock replacement. But there's got to be an alternative out there for less than $279. If not, it's next on the Fabjunkie list of things to make.

I found out after replacing just about everything else that was bad in my steering system, that the rubber isolator in the shaft is the last thing that has any kind of play in it. The rubber is shot allowing the little bowtie looking deal to contact the stops befrore it actually moves the lower part of the shaft..

Anybody else need one??

I just got a used one from the junkyard: http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=998413
And actually I just pulled it out yesterday and put a bolt through the bushing. I've also seen where people have welded those pieces together.
