Fits, works, just great.

The price is normal and will probably last forever. Missing information (manual/instructions) cause me a small problem. First, they must pocket a plain piece of paper advising that the steering wheel must be "locked" before attempting to remove the old shaft. This will help your children or even yourself not to get into the cab and turn the steering wheel. Even a slight movement can make it difficult to install (align) a new one, and a few turns can destroy the airbag connectors in the steering wheel. Second, they need instruction on how to completely remove the shaft lock bolts, not just loosen them. I just loosened the screws and fiddled with this thing for half an hour before fully unscrewing the screws. When I did it came out pretty easy. Eventually, if your transmission and steering input shaft have been corroded by road chemicals, you will need to grind and sand the machined surfaces before you can install a new one. It's a decent piece and price - just give the DIY buyer a little guidance to help them succeed on their first try.

Pros

OEM fit, quality, finish. Although this is not a genuine OEM part, it is a direct replacement and will fit, function and perform like a genuine part. This replacement universal joint intermediate steering shaft is manufactured from high quality steel for durability and great value.
