Dorman425-266 Steering Shaft Compatible with Select Dodge / Mitsubishi / Ram Models

Exact fit for my 2008 Dakota. Took about and hour to install.

So tired of what passes for auto parts these days. The torque spec for the steering shaft bolts is 28lbs on my truck, I torqued mine to 35 because I had a long extension that may have taken some of the torque away, and it was still loose enough to wobble around.After wrenching on it with the might of Zeus, probably getting near 50lbs+ it seems to be holding okay. But it's unacceptable to machine a "new" part so far out of spec that you need to alter the torque for the fasteners. Dorman is for the poorman and should be avoided when possible, that goes for all Dorman parts.I'm a professional technician, and have replaced a steering shaft before without issue. And yes I lined up the bolt notches, cleaned the mating surfaces, and used loctite.

The product works as well as oem part. Easy replace and

Fit my 07 Mitsubishi Raider (Dakota Clone). I tried a $35 part from ebay first, but it was not machined correctly and thus would not fit. The rubber is thinner on this than on the original. Time will tell how long it lasts. Made in China.

Easy to install in my 06 Mitsubishi Raider. Fixed loose steering wheel issue I had. Now just gotta see how long it lasts.

1 week of 600 miles use and this already has stiff spots. Don't bother.

A heck of a lot cheaper than the $650 that dodge wanted here in Canada, it fit and works well

Easy to install, just two bolts to remove. This fit right in place and used the original bolts. Took the play out of the steering on my 2005 Dakota.Note: just installed on the day of this review so we'll see how it holds up.

This fit perfect in my 2005 dakota, definitely helped eliminate most of the slop in the steering wheel.
