 Subject: Steering Shaft is Short
IP: Logged
Message:
Hi Guys,
I am having a BIT of trouble with replacing my
steering shaft (it was all rusted, caused clicking
when turning left, and I had a lot of play in the
wheel).
I have a:
1998 Dakota 4WD 3.9L V6 Magnum.
I pulled the steering shaft out of my Dakota - it
is 31.25". I had purchased a 4WD shaft (Dorman)
for the Dakota and it was 2" short. I looked
online and the shaft I pulled out of the Dakota
looked much more similar to the 2WD models; I
called a dealership - they couldn't tell me the
length of the 2WD replacement - So I returned the
4WD and purchased the 2WD, as I read it was longer
in length.
Well, the 2WD is still an inch short. Any
suggestions? After both the 4WD and 2WD steering
shafts not fitting, I am not sure where to go from
here...I just now figured I'd check the VIN and it
is originally a 4WD.
Any help is appreciated!
