I have tilt steering wheels in several 70-90 vehicles. Best I can determine, they are all the same on top.
The one in my 84 E350 has developed a sloppy U joint. The lower and upper shafts and joint are a single part. So far I have not found a replacement shaft. There are complete rebuilt units for $900. That is a lot when all I need is a U joint.
If anyone knows a source for a shaft, I will use that and be done. But, I am considering modfying the existing shaft and castings to accept a universal double D steering joint. Since I have several of these units, all of which are subject to wear, there is a large potential savings going forward.
Thoughts?
