Came out clean!! 🏆🏆🏆I used to pull the Jeep shafts back in 2010, blast em, paint em and install. No need for all that now.! The little you save isn’t much. Might as well snatch a new one. All my projects run this one now. 🏁🏁 Keep the uploads coming fam!🏁🏁🏁
Pretty cheap and ez to find in the junk yards off of a 94 and down and the 92-98 jeep GRAND Cherokees have a 12.7 ratio steering box. Both are ez salvage yard finds
Thank you for your video- Lord knows Hooker instructions are non existent for the modification to the steering column shaft for a G body. Three of my buddies and myself bought this for our Buick GN/Turbo T’s and tried to install it but obviously would not fit w/o the grinding of the column shaft- thank you for the info!
I just installed mine. Thanks for the again for the video. For whatever reason I didn't have to do any trimming on the shaft coming from the steering column and the screw screwed right through the factory hole. Now I have to take the screw out and put thread lock on them. Lol.
@@Big_Country843 Nice!!! Wish I didn't have to modify mine...lol...and yea I got ahead of myself and had to back my screws out to add the thread locker 🤦🏾♂️
It changes how straight your steering wheel is after you installed. It was your steering wheel straight? Sometimes you have to make sure and adjust it so the steering wheel is straight.
Great vid! I'm about to install my Hooker shaft. Just wanted to say: the nut & bolt down by the steering box? I think you wanna take the steering shaft bolt out all the way to get the shaft to seat completely on the steering box gear. The steering gear has kind of a groove around it that the steering shaft bolt kinda slides through to hold everything in place. Don't wanna see you hit I64 with non-responsive steering.
Was that power steering box the original?..I wanna do the aftermarket quick steering box with a tighter ratio and was wondering if that would mount up..Thanks for the Video!
I have the half shaft ordered for the 96 to 05' S-10 for my 05' Blazer Not because i am installing Headers I hate the feel of the steering when driving Like a really bad B rated movie where the guy is on the steering wheel left right left right ....Only This is a real thing ! The rag joint is old and worn out I am even beting the owner before me hit a curb and ripped the rag joint ...Anyways It will save me one more thing The middle Spark plug being a tight fit ..You would have to use a deep socket with a square back to get a wrench on And back out the spark plug with 3 or 4 twist of the wrench Then by hand Pain in the ass Even worse had to watch your cross-threading going back it 2 more days waiting for my part Cant wait ...My Blazer btw is custom with copper paint ..a lift And offset tires Queen size bed And a kitchen pull out behind the tailgate My first love of cars was the 87 Monte Carlo SS My friend had a 84' LS Toronto Police pulled us over no less than 30 times in that thing ...Loved it
Just wanted to make sure you were all the way on the steering box, the guy's that rebuild steering boxes always cut the little tit off the end of the spline on the steering box so it doesn't interfere with after market shafts, good video
Did you replace the lower bearing? Swapping my 84ss for a jeep steering shaft and can’t decide if i should get the crown jeep bearing kit or the classic gm bearing kit
read the back of the instructions, it says to file down a flat spot for the set screw on the steering box splines. you dont want the set screw on splines.

Thanks for sharing! I just ordered mine!
I got one off eBay for a 84 Astro van. Cost $60. Took 6 minutes to install.
Good job bro might as well change the steering seals
Thanks, I'll look into that 💯
Great videos man, do you know if that shaft fit a 79 Malibu? Thanks again for any help
Thanks man and yes it fits the 79 Malibu...all Gbody 78-88 👌🏾
Good job bro 👍
Thanks 💯
Hey man looks good! I just ordered mine after watching your video. How's the ride with the new one vs. The old ragjoint shaft?
A lot better💯💯💯
Looks good bro
Thanks 💯
Good evening, I have the same steering shaft and was wondering do you notice a lot of play in your steering wheel when driving?
Nah…might be your gear box or your steering column giving u that issue
@@87SSBOI yeah, I was thinking the steering column. Thanks for the advice.
What brand/color paint did use on that chassis? 👌🏼
VHT Roll Bar and Chassis Paint...Satin Black
There it go !!!! Easy money !!
Yessir!!!
No more bullshit I love it brother nice job
Thanks!!! It definitely makes a big difference!!!
Did you replace the lower bearing? Swapping my 84ss for a jeep steering shaft and can’t decide if i should get the crown jeep bearing kit or the classic gm bearing kit
Nah I didn't...I may in the near future

Thanks 💯💯
@@87SSBOI Yes Sir!
sounds good
If I change the steering shaft to jeep do I have to also change the gear box too or is ok with the original gear box on my 86 Monte
OG is fine..that’s what I have
Where did you get that bold from the one that connects the shaft up to the steering wheel, i noticed mine needed a longer one
Came in the box
Would this work for a B body 96 impala ss seems like it uses the same gearing box an steering shaft
I'm not sure
just bought this for my girls 91 s10 that's got enough slop in the steering to feed a hog farm
Lol...it will definitely fix the issue
my monte has a 5.3 with headers will this item help to no rub on headers no more...is there a difference between the jeep and this hooker one
I'm pretty sure this will def help u with clearance issues...and I think this is pretty much a replica of the jeep shaft
@@87SSBOI thanks for the reply I could buy the jeep for 60$ but this one looks nice
What all suspension upgrades you done
Only rear QA1 coilovers so far...plan to do full front suspension this winter
Will this work on 1980 camaro
Idk
