IDK I looked around recalling a post on here by someone and I found this https://dodgeforum.com/forum/1st-gen...ate-shaft.html
His is a 88 but its first gen. IDK if there is a difference

Thars the thing. I have a pretty low threshold for deciding that steering components need to be replaced. Brakes and steering are two things you want to have confidence in.

I'll add an angle grinder or sanding disc is not a bad idea, to rechamfer the end you cut so it slides in and out a bit better.
What one guy did on another forum is, after he got his linkage all right and adjusted, he took each set screw out one at a time, did a small drill right smackdab in the middle with a 1/8" drill bit (just enough to mark it!), pulled the shaft, and drilled a shallow countersink with a 1/4" drill bit, to give the set screw something to bite on.
I just crank'er down with LokTite Blue on the threads myself.
Aside: There's a spot on the tilt column bottom end where the old roll pin went that's just perfect to bit into with the set screw; the rack & pinion end was also just about perfect to bite into with the set screw there.
As to feel ... well, I'm a bit better aquainted with the bumps and expansion joints between the steel U-joints and the poly control arm bushings
But it's not objectionable; and a LOT better than the previous "I turned the wheel, why isn't it turn .. oh, THERE it goes!" IMO.
