Steering Shaft 1in-DD St eel tubing 36in Long

The BORGESON Steering Shaft 1in-DD Steel Tubing 36in Long (part number 409536) is a precision universal steering component engineered for custom automotive builds, hot rods, and vehicles requiring aftermarket steering system fabrication. This 36-inch steel shaft features a 1-inch double-D profile on both ends, a configuration that accepts industry-standard steering couplers, universal joints, and shaft adapters without modification.

The double-D design eliminates the slippage and play common in round-shaft systems, translating to precise steering feedback and reduced torque loss through the shaft assembly. At 3.5 lbs and manufactured from steel in natural finish, this shaft delivers the structural rigidity required for responsive steering geometry while remaining light enough for performance-focused applications. The 1-inch outer diameter balances strength with space efficiency in tight engine bays and custom chassis layouts. The 36-inch length accommodates mid-range steering column-to-box distances typical in street rods, kit cars, and vintage vehicle restorations.

Builders choose BORGESON steering shafts for applications where steering feel and reliability are non-negotiable—drag racing vehicles, road course competition vehicles, and high-end custom builds. The universal design works across nearly any steering box type and coupler specification, making it ideal for builders who prioritize fabrication flexibility. Natural steel finish requires protective coating or paint application, allowing integration with custom powdercoat or plating finishes.

BORGESON has established itself in the automotive performance aftermarket for steering components that don't compromise on precision. This steering shaft is sold as a single unit and pairs with couplers, U-joints, and column adapters (sold separately) to complete a full steering assembly.
