Hello,

I have 1996 Ram 1500 and I need to put a new Steering Gear in. I figure if I got that off I might as well put in the shaft that attaches to the Gear Box as well.

I don't know what it is called but it has a u-joint on each end (there is movement in each). Can anyone help me out with what the name of this shaft is called?

I looked in my Haynes and cannot find a diagram or any mention of it.

Any help is appreciated.

Intermediate steering shaft. Get one of these. And dont cheap out on the gear box(get a Red-Head) you'll be sorry if you don't . http://www.dieselpowerproducts.com/p...FYWe4AodVAsAQQ

 

Tripper, as was stated, the part you need is the intermediate steering shaft. For an accurate part diagram, download the parts and service manuals for your year/model truck from this site.

I replaced my stock steering box with a Borgeson unit, along with a Borgeson intermediate shaft. That, along with the full front end rebuild I performed, made the truck a pleasure to drive.
