I always love watching auto mechanics handle these big powerful tools and heavy parts and then they pull out a hammer and its the smallest hammer you've ever seen (i know you need to get it in small places) but it still funny, lol

[@rondellschuyler7074]

I buy all my parts from them i gotta 9o dodge ram 150p but the balljoints dont come with grease fittings its all a dirtect fit had to prob with them

[@spelunkerd]

Nice, clear video. With the boot facing up, water on the shaft may drip into the seal. Also if water does get into the seal, it won't be able to escape. I wonder why they designed it to go upside down.

[@1AAuto]

+spelunkerd Thanks for the feedback!

[@Luna-dt1nt]

Nice vid !!!

[@ryanburlone6440]

I changed mine yesterday, went in fine. My question is will I need another alignment? I had the alignment done 3 weeks ago. Tia

[@user-ni9ms3gl8z]

No

[@millermatic140]

I have the infamous loose steering wheel play. Contemplating which part I need. Steering box or shaft

[@rondellschuyler7074]

Just the coupler or you could purchase the shaft with the coupler attached.

[@Izywithdagrinch]

What’s the part it connects to on the firewall?

[@trevorbommarito3766]

Do you need to have an alignment done after this?

[@1AAuto]

+Trevor Bommarito Yes, an alignment is recommended after the installation of this part. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any further questions.

[@trevorbommarito3766]

Alright 1 more question, does this part work with the 2wd model? On your site it says only 4wd but it looks exactly like mine

[@1AAuto]

+Trevor Bommarito That is correct that the steering shaft we carry for these model years of Ram 1500s is only for the 4WD models.

[@doncrewsamericanangler8656]

@@1AAuto why would you need to do another alignment if you're not changing anything that has to do with a geometry of the suspension as in tie rods ball joints etc etc

[@aros007z]

Alignment not needed!

[@alldeisel2208]

Same for the 2500?

[@gasmantv93]

Pretty this also apply to the 2002? Can anyone confirm gotta do mine

[@jackreil6361]

Tried to find this part on website. Is this steering shaft available for 99 ram 1500 2wd?

[@The-Big-Brother-You-Need]

Are you SURE this is the right steering shaft for a 2nd gen dodge ram 1500? On 1a auto- it shows that this shaft works on the ram 2500 or 3500... Dorman 425-264 part. I have a lifted (7 inch lift) 1998 dodge ram 1500 5.2L 4x4 with the extended cab and it looks like my steering shaft is closer to 30 inches and not 20-21 inches like this steering shaft. I read online a lot of conflicting information but in summary- it looks like this smaller shaft 425-264 is only for regular cab/standard cab 2nd gen dodge 1500... I can't find any other info though. Other than a borgeson steering shaft that is 30 inches. I just want to make sure I order the right part is all.... Even look at the Q and A on the part page- somebody at 1a auto said this only works for 2500 and 3500. Can somebody please clarify? Your videos have helped me so much by the way- I thank you for this. Saved me hundreds of dollars.

[@The-Big-Brother-You-Need]

www.1aauto.com/*/i/DMSTC00004?AKZbin&Adescription&Avideodesc&FebV-Ch6OvM I'm talking about this part in particular- will this work with a 1998 dodge ram 1500 4x4 5.2L Laramie Extended Cab (2 door) with a 7" lift? Thanks a million
