Borgeson HD Telescopic Lower Steering Shaft - 1995-1998 Chevy/GMC C1500/K1500

A worn or sloppy factory lower steering shaft is one of those problems that quietly makes your whole steering feel worse without an obvious single cause - if your OBS truck has developed clunks, play, or a vague feel between the steering column and the box, Borgeson's Heavy Duty Telescopic Lower Steering Shaft is the fix.

Borgeson has built steering components in the USA since 1919, and this telescopic shaft is engineered to replace the factory unit with a stronger, tighter-tolerance design that eliminates the play that develops in factory shafts over three-plus decades of service. The telescopic design accommodates the natural movement between your steering column and gearbox without introducing slop, giving you a more direct, connected steering feel.

This upgrade matters even more if you've lowered your truck, upgraded your steering box, or made other front-end modifications that change the geometry between your column and steering gear slightly - a heavy-duty telescopic shaft handles those variations better than a tired factory piece that was never designed with any margin for modification in the first place.

Built to Borgeson's heavy-duty standard, this shaft is a straightforward improvement whether you're fixing an existing steering feel complaint or building a complete steering system upgrade alongside a new steering box and tie rod ends. It's a relatively affordable fix for a problem that's easy to blame on other components when the real culprit is a worn factory shaft.

Installation uses the factory steering column and steering box connection points - straightforward for anyone comfortable with basic front-end and steering work.

Fits: Chevy/GMC C1500/K1500, 1995-1998 (fits GM fullsize trucks and SUVs 1995-2000).
