Steering Column Shaft w/ Tube For Chevy Silverado Tahoe GMC Sierra Yukon 425184

Steering Column Shaft with Tube for Chevy Silverado, Tahoe, GMC Sierra, Yukon

This steering column shaft with tube assembly replaces OEM part number 425184, connecting the steering column to the steering box on select Chevy Silverado, Tahoe, GMC Sierra, and Yukon models.

Overview

The steering column shaft with tube is a collapsible intermediate shaft that links the steering column to the steering gear, engineered for 1999-2006 GM full-size trucks and SUVs. It eliminates the loose, clunky steering feel caused by a worn lower shaft and slip joint, restoring tight, predictable steering response. When the original shaft develops play, this steering column shaft with tube returns the steering system to factory tightness.

Specs At A Glance

Good To Know

Q: Will this shaft stop the steering clunk common on Silverado and Sierra trucks? A: Yes, it replaces the worn slip joint and U-joints that typically cause the clunk, provided the rest of the steering linkage is tight.

Q: Does the assembly come pre-greased, and is re-greasing required later? A: The slip joint arrives factory-lubed and sealed; periodic inspection is recommended, but re-greasing is usually not needed under normal use.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
