1948-79 Flaming River Steering Linkage Kit 2WD (DD Steering Shaft, Billet-Joint & U-Joint)

$715.99

Flaming River steering linkage kit for 1948–79 Ford 2WD trucks, with an 18-inch stainless 3/4 DD shaft, Billet-Joint and U-joint to tighten loose steering.

  • The slop goes away - sealed needle bearing joints replace pin and block joints that were worn out before you bought the truck.
  • One kit; three parts - shaft; Billet-Joint and U-joint arrive matched instead of guessed at across three orders.
  • Aircraft grade steel; CNC machined - the fit at the DD flats is what keeps the feel tight under load.
  • Built for your rack - Flaming River rack or Crown Vic conversion; pick the option that matches the swap you are doing.
  • Stainless shaft in mill finish - it lives under the floor where salt and damp go; and it does not care.
  • Steering you trust at speed - the truck goes where you point it instead of where the crown of the road suggests.

Install Level: Advanced

2WD only.
The rack and pinion is not included.
