S/S Double D Steering Shaft 22in

The S/S Double D Steering Shaft 22in by Borgeson (MPN 419422) is a precision-engineered intermediate steering component designed for custom hot rods, classic car restorations, and street rods requiring improved steering geometry and shaft alignment. This stainless steel double D shaft bridges the gap between your steering box and column with a secure, positive connection that eliminates slop and steering play. Whether you're building a traditional hot rod, retrofitting a classic with modern steering components, or restoring a vintage vehicle, this shaft ensures consistent hand-to-wheel feedback without the reliability issues common to older, worn steering linkages.

Manufactured from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, the S/S Double D Steering Shaft features dual D-shaped ends that provide a positive mechanical lock into both steering box and column receptacles, preventing rotation and ensuring repeatable, accurate steering response. The 22-inch length accommodates mid-range shaft runs common in engine bay modifications and frame-off restorations. The double D profile—as opposed to splined or U-joint designs—offers superior durability under lateral loads and eliminates the wear patterns that develop in traditional universal joints over thousands of miles. Weighing just 2.34 lbs, this shaft adds negligible unsprung weight while delivering the rigidity necessary for precise steering control in performance and restoration applications.

This 22-inch steering shaft is ideal for mechanics and enthusiasts fabricating custom steering columns, engine swaps, or OEM-to-aftermarket steering box conversions where factory shaft dimensions no longer apply. The stainless steel construction resists rust and corrosion in engine bay environments where moisture and road salt exposure is inevitable, extending service life and maintaining appearance over decades. Installation requires compatible D-shaped receptacles on both the steering column and gearbox side; verify your column and box specifications before ordering, as Borgeson manufactures multiple shaft lengths and configurations to suit different vehicle platforms and custom builds.
