The Full-size Dodge Ram Pickups have a type of steering coupler that can show signs of wear in as little as 4500 miles, depending on how the truck is used. This wear, which causes play in the truck’s steering, is even more noticeable if your truck is used for plowing, towing or if over sized tires have been installed. Replacing the worn steering shaft with another OEM shaft only gives you a temporary fix. Borgeson has replacement steering shaft assemblies with precision needle bearing u-joints available for ‘79 to ‘09 full-size Dodge trucks. These steering shafts are replacements for the under hood intermediate shaft.

Before you fully understand the basic function of Replacement steering shaft, it might help that you learn first some of the fundamentals of steering system. First and foremost, you should know that manual steering system incorporates steering wheel and column, manual gear box and pitman arm or a rack and pinion assembly, linkages, steering knuckles and ball joints and lastly, the wheel spindle assembly. Power steering systems add a hydraulic pump, fluid reservoir, hoses, line and a power assist unit mounted on or integral with a power assembly. You must also get yourself acquainted to several different manual steering gears.

The rack and pinion type is the common choice of many vehicle experts as well as manufacturers. The re-circulating ball type seems to be the previous favorite since the ball act as a rolling thread between the worm shaft and ball nut. Another manual steering gear once famous was the worm and sector type. There are still other manual gears such as worm tapered pin steering gear and roller steering gear.

Note that the steering wheel and column are the major causes of injury to the driver. A range of energy-absorbing and non-intrusion designs have been developed lately. Energy absorbing columns have to perform two functions. One to stop the steering wheel and column from being pushed to the rear when the front of the car is crushed in an impact, and two to provide the operator with a tolerable impact as he moves towards the front and strikes the wheel with his chest. In the overall steering system, shaft pays contribution to come to a good operation. Bear in mind however, that steering shaft will periodically wear out and function imperfectly. This time, you need to take the necessary action and that is to replace it with a new one.
