Steering column shaft

Did you cut the factory coupler at the box off as well? I see alot do and go to a u joint style. Thanks for the info and sorry about bumping an old thread. Im getting ready to drop my gen 3 in this week and stummbled on this. Got me kinda anxious.

So, you used a bearing in place of the factory plastic piece, than the collar is what retains the bearing? Derp, I think I am following....

I had to shorten the spline a bit to use the u universal joint over the factory one. Yes I figured with the amount of heat my turbos were going to produce the plastic one wouldn't last to long.
