1995 - 2000 OBS Steering Shaft Upgrade! NO MORE SLOPPY STEERING!

[@Rbenterprises4]

I just replaced mine with a Dorman rag joint shaft. The hardest part was getting the top bolt out since someone used an impact and rounded the bolt! I used an Irwin bolt extractor, replaced the bolt and nut, then pushed the boot on the new shaft back far enough to go up into the column. I broke the plastic collar off since I did not push it down far enough to clear the frame. Oh well, it works great! No more steering wheel slip!

[@sidewayzindustries2613]

Nice to hear that man crazy how much it makes a difference , no slip anymore!

[@georgiabigfoot]

@@sidewayzindustries2613do you have an update vid about this? Did this remove the play in the steering wheel? Thank you

[@scottholt3545]

Good video. I totally over looked that on my 98 gmc Yukon. I replaced the tie rods, pitman arm, idler arm, sway bar links and still have sloppy steering. I am going to order this part right now. Thanks man

[@Fedsmoker-reborn]

Gimme an update bro I’m in your same boat

[@Beek88]

I did the exact same thing. New everything even wheel hub bearings, control arms ball joints inner and outer tie rods...shop still wouldn't line it up. Both wheels had side to side play, but at the same time

[@Fedsmoker-reborn]

@@Beek88 you got a new rag joint ?

[@scottholt3545]

@@Fedsmoker-reborn I got a lower steering shaft from a 96 Jeep Cherokee. Only slight modification was needed. Drives so much better. I still need to get a steering damper. Once I can find a center link with 5 holes from a 3/4 ton GMC suburban.

@@Fedsmoker-reborn2 years no answer is a bummer.

[@joelcastro1441]

Did mine and couldn’t get it to slide out as easy as yours. Had to remove the bolt from under the dash on my 96. Great video.

[@sidewayzindustries2613]

Appreciate it , doing a giveaway at 2k subs!

[@jaywestfall3439]

Awesome video, y'all. I have one of those to install on my 1998 C1500 ext cab. This answers every question I had!!! 👍🏻😁🙂

[@Lucky.420]

Some of these gear boxes have an alignment pin. I used a Dremel and cut it off. fit percent after modification. For anyone that’s wondering .

[@Icysoles60]

Thank you so much for this vid. I have had the swanging issue for the longest lol, cant wait to make this upgrade

[@czarredd]

Cunningham Machine site says that if you have the aftermarket Dorman upper…this lower won’t fit without modifications. I have the Dorman upper and interested in knowing what modifications need to be done for this lower to fit and work properly? Thx!

[@shannonkiser7740]

How did you get it to slide all the way on the steering box shaft? Does your steering gear box have the alignment pin on the end of the shaft?

[@truggy607]

you ever get yours on? cant get mine

[@workingclassbear6523]

Spread the lower side where its pinched to the box and it will fall apart for you.

[@fpsnashamdan7362]

Can the same action be taken for 92 Buick Roadmaster ???

[@robertcarlos78]

How did it come off I loosen both bolts. You didn’t show how you took it off

[@asteroidink]

How much improvement? Worth it?

[@sidewayzindustries2613]

Yes , tighten up the steering a lot

[@brandonperez4847]

So I don’t need to get the same old style model one 98 one with the round steering coupler on it?? What difference does that make

[@astronomical13]

Maybe instead of showing 2 minutes of spraying and wiping a plastic part that wasn’t even used in the end you could have used that time to actually report on how much this improved the steering performance.

[@cobaltsslsj5891]

thanks for the great video that was complete

[@raymondtrevino6370]

Would the plastic hard cover not work ? I saw you installed on table but final ending didn’t have cover on

[@sidewayzindustries2613]

Yeah I think put it in the video , to remove the lower plastic , doesn’t work only the upper rubber will

[@raymondtrevino6370]

@@sidewayzindustries2613 thanks for the video

[@jessealcalarealtyone]

Will this part work for a 94’?

[@sidewayzindustries2613]

Yes I believe they make a specific one for those years

[@Ski.the.slayer]

It’s better for you and cheaper to grab one of a Jeep Cherokee XJ get one at pick a part for the low should be plug and play and it’s the universal u joint

[@convoymusic7141]

Would it fit a 95 2 door Yukon 4x4

[@sidewayzindustries2613]

Yes

[@garybermudez6392]

I did get pulled over lol 😂

[@josemandujano4720]

I haven’t but it was funny because I thought I was the only one that was bound to get pulled over for it 😂

[@Barry11997]

What if I don’t have those tools?

[@chriswhitcomb8248]

how long did it take them to send it out to you

[@sidewayzindustries2613]

Not long , heard they’re on back order at the moment

[@chrisescobar1985]

Why haven’t you uploaded bro

[@lisandromelendez9545]

What web site you got that from brother. That's what I need

[@sidewayzindustries2613]

Link should be in the description

[@hugodelamora8733]

Would that fit 93

[@sidewayzindustries2613]

Yes there’s a specific one for 88-94 and 95-99

[@YouSoundButtHurt]

@@sidewayzindustries2613 I have a '95 but it's pretty much the same as the older trucks but with the newer interior. Is that why the '95 needs a different shaft because of the interior update?

[@robertcarlos78]

On 2:28 it don’t just come out and at 2:32 you had it off

[@mikewilson6906]

Adjustable ranch lol

[@jwold11]

No offense but with 2 of you there you could have move the camera in a way for viewers to see what you're doing. Not very helpful.
