+1!!! I thought it would be a lot harder and take longer than 30 mins. If it is that easy, I'll be ordering my solid steering shaft pretty soon:beer:

It is only 2 bolts... one under the dash and one at the steering rack.

will this take care of the slight dead spot in the middle?

I'm ordering mine today too! I'll probably order the aluminum rack bushings at the same time to save on shipping:rockon:

Need some help gang.

Trying to install mine.
Top and bottom bolts out, no problem.
Shaft is loose.
I've got Mac Lont Tube headers, and I cant pull the shaft out of the firewall without hitting the header. It looks impossible to get the shaft out.

anyone do this install with Mac headers?

Car is a 2000 GT, 2 valve.

maybe loosen the steering rack so you can shift it around to get more clearance and pull it from the bottom?

 

[Sirl]

Never mind.
Got it.

Tip.
collapse the top portion of the shaft before trying to remove it.
This would have in essence, shortened the shaft, and would not hit the header while trying to take it out.

 

[WutApex]

let me know how it goes, time-wise, difficulty, etc as I just got mine a couple days ago.

I might just wait and have my shop install it at the same as the steering rack bushings and TA

Looks like I ordered the wrong one!!!!!!!!!!!

I ordered the 15, but needed the 14 GRRRRRRRRRRRR

[Sirl]

I'll give ya even more FAIL!
I have my headers wrapped with the heat shield stuff... I guess its fiberglass?
I tore it up getting the shaft out!! My arms are all itchy!!! AAAAAARGH!!!!

Hey I just bought a MM steering shaft for 50.00 dollars from a guy on craigslist and I was wondering how long did the install take you guys and what tools did you need?

 

[Sirl]

Like someone else said, its pretty much plug and play.

There is a bolt on top, below the steering column, and one at the steering rack/

Remove both, swap, and replace both bolts.

I had headers in my way, which made it more difficult, but, its doable.
