79-93 Dodge P/U Steering Shaft Assembly

The BORGESON 79-93 Dodge P/U Steering Shaft Assembly is a telescoping rag joint steering shaft designed for full-size Dodge Ram trucks from 1979 through 1993. This steering shaft assembly serves as the critical connection between the steering column and the gearbox, engineered to accommodate the specific geometry and mounting requirements of first and second-generation Dodge Ram pickups. The natural steel construction with rag joint flange design provides the flexibility needed to manage misalignment between the column and steering box while maintaining precise control inputs.

The telescoping design allows for column depth adjustment, a feature essential when restoring or modifying classic Dodge Ram trucks where steering column positioning may vary based on dashboard configuration or aftermarket installation. The rag joint construction uses a flexible coupling to absorb minor vibration and misalignment without introducing play in the steering response. Weighing 4.61 pounds and measuring 20.35 inches in length, this assembly fits within the compact engine bay and cabin geometry of first and second-generation Ram pickups while maintaining proper clearance for suspension and drivetrain components. The steel construction resists the corrosion challenges common in vehicles exposed to winter road salt or coastal environments.

This steering shaft assembly is ideal for owners rebuilding steering systems on classic Dodge Ram trucks, whether restoring original factory specifications or upgrading to modern steering box components. Mechanics and restoration shops working on 79-93 Dodge pickups rely on OEM-specification steering shafts like this to ensure proper column geometry, prevent steering bind, and maintain the mechanical integrity of the steering linkage. The BORGESON part number 000940 has become a standard replacement component for technicians seeking reliable, verified compatibility with early Dodge Ram steering systems.
