Dorman 425-360 Steering Shaft Compatible with Select Ford/Lincoln/Mercury Models

How to install in under 10 minutes and it fits like a glove. Normally I do admit that I go for motorcraft but I am so glad I made the exception here.This is a good quality and my strange, intermittent freeway steering wheel vibrations disappear upon installation.Thank you dorman for making such a wonderful product!Just a little note for anyone who is having issues getting the top of the shaft into the upper shaft coming from the steering wheel, use a little hammer and gently tap it in and be sure to take a wide blade screwdriver or a wedge type tool to help spread the fitting... If that makes any sense?

Should have checked the ends before installing half way. But, of course, I should not have to. First end went on ok, but the end toward ghe steering wheel was not machined correctly. One flat is longer than other and WILL NOT GO! I am frustrated to say the least. If you buy, check ends before wasting time.

Installed easily and fits perfect. A great deal compared to Ford OEM costing over $300

first one was defective with badly machined needle bearings in 2nd knuckle of shaft but 2nd one seems to be fine.

Fast delivery. Perfect fit.

Easy to replace. Perfect fit. And doesn't bind like the old one.

repaired the problem

Awesome

Be aware of Ford Safety Recall 13S08, these Crown Vic vehicles have known and serious issues with the joints seizing and the upper shaft coming apart causing complete loss of steering control. Find the recall online and read through it prior to repair. Check all joints and pay special attention to the upper shaft support bearing under the dash before attempting repair as per recall or take vehicle to a Ford dealer if you're not a certified and licensed technician.I used this lower steering shaft to fix a sticking u-joint on my factory shaft, it fit just like the original, looks and feels like a quality piece and my steering is no longer binding. Would recommend.
