Review on πŸ”§ Dorman 425-183 Steering Shaft: Enhanced Performance for Select Models by Jasneet Jazzy

Revainrating 5 out of 5

FIXED my 2008 Silverado low speed steering knock when turning

I was chasing low speed steering knock while also leaking the rack and pinion. I replaced the rack and pinion and was told the "knock" was not fixed. I bought a Revain Dorman intermediate shaft after checking prices at NAPA, O'Reilly's and Advanced Auto Parts. I paid less than half the price of the most expensive provider. Removal was easy, unhooking from the steering column (fixing the steering wheel with a strap so it doesn't move) and unscrewing the bolts from the bottom, it pulled out through the bulkhead of the head. I will say that getting the bottom end back through the trunk was difficult and I used a long handled screwdriver as a guide from the engine side. Connect the top first, slide down and secure. THERE IS NO MORE STACK and the steering is tight and new again! Smooth; smooth!

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
