Found my problem, worn steering shaft. Anyone recommend a aftermarket better then OEM? Or is OEM the way to go?

Thanks

 

Also found that the geerbox can have slop in it and be adjusted. Anyone have luck doing this?

 

Bump....

 

The service manual states the following re: the rack and pinion: "A rack and pinion steering gear is made up of two main components, the pinon shaft and the rack. The gear cannot be adjusted or internally serviced. If a malfunction or a fluid leak occurs, the gear must be replaced as an assembly."

So at least Dodge doesn't endorse any kind of adjustment. As for brands, check out rockauto.com. There are not many shown and they are remans. I have had luck with Cardone before. http://www.cardone.com/Products/Prod...d=22382&p=rock

For the shaft, looks like a $250 part - search "BORGESON 951".

 

Don't think the 2500's have rack and pinion!!!!!

 

You are right! The 2500's have a reticulating ball (I think thats right). The steering gear can be adjusted, but I suggest you follow the FSM on adjustment. As far as a steering shaft, I haven't a clue-----sorry

 

Wow, my bad big time not looking at the vehicle. Sorry!

 

evidently something changed in '03...............
