Steering shaft and power sterring box alignment off

[AcampoDave]

My advice is to call Borgeson. They have the expertise to help you get it done. I personally just used them to purchase a telescopic intermediate shaft with a universal joint at the column end, and a vibration reducing universal at the steering gear box. Cost me a couple of bills but totally worth it. One u-joint can compensate for a change of angle, but to compensate for an offset between column and box, (even a minor one) 2 u- joints make it smooth as butter. If you have power steering with an adapter plate on the frame chances are good you will have some degree of offset due to the thickness of the plate. A rag joint may take it up for a while but over time it will wear out prematurely. Flaming River also sells steering shafts and U-joints and they have some decent videos on youtube.

Edit: I actually posted this response a ways back to somebody else with the same dilemma because it was once my dilemma too.
