Read back through the old and archived posts in order to see if anyone has come up with a solution to the u joint in the stock post wearing out. There are recommendations to weld a new joint in there but no pics or post from users who have done it. I'm wondering if it is possible to just cut out the old pivot out and make an one piece solid post with the correct top plate angle and be done with my sloppy steering? I have seen pics of the fabcraft setup. Obviously it is no longer available. I can't find any info about this. Guessing all the older info was lost when snowest changed its forum around.

If it is 100% direct bolt up no major modifications needed then I am 100% interested.

Lol, the only requirement is the fixed steering post plate like in the pic. Which is the flimsy timbersled one, but I'm sure most everyone has Polzin's plate by now. Lol

I'll send my broski a pm and see if he will chime in..you know him and you know the quality of his work trust me

Here's the 1 piece steering shaft.






These are made from chomolly therefore stronger and lighter than stock. A few options could be made available. A round tube top to allow direct mounting of your bar riser, also 1 or 2" taller than stock. These would be for the guys who already have a R/S delete kit because of the angle of the shaft shown in Guido's pic the upper mount is repositioned to follow the angle of the shaft when mounted in the chassis.

looks like there is enough interest to go ahead with this in limited quantity, but the first few will be built to order. Send a pm for price and delivery.
