Hey Hal, just revisiting this idea. You've had your Borgeson setup for a year or more. How do you like it?

thanks,

Karen, all seems good with the parts. Have a little more than 5000 miles on them and steering is fine with no adverse effects.😀 Hal .

Thanks Hal, that's terrific. I'm sick of trying to make the old floppy greasy heavy monstrosity work,
and no matter how hard I try, I can't get the lower pinch bolt to really grip. Even tried changing
the steering box recently hoping it would help but it made zero difference. I'm pretty sure now the
remaining sloppiness is in the intermediate shaft, and I'm done messing with it.

thanks,

Karen,

I'll buy your OEM lower steering shaft assembly and CV joint; how much do you want for it?

I'll wait to see how we like the borgeson solution before getting rid of the old one.
You'll probably have offers from other folks who have spare intermediate shafts lying around before then.
