Steering help
I have a '68 roadrunner with manual steering. The shaft came out of the housing when I was driving it. I replaced the coupler and other parts and the shaft still moves up (twords the fire wall) ad down (twords the steering box). I am assuming that there is a clip or pin in the shaft to stop the driver from being impaled if a collission. Does anyone know? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Pictures or diagrams would be a help.

I don't think you will get much in the Car Audio Forum. Moving to Vintage Chat.

There is a split pin that should be in it to hold the shaft to the one on the steering box.

I put on a steering coupler kit. Where does the split pin go?

old, I tried to send you a private message with my phone number asking you to describe, but there needs to be 25 replys on this thread for me to do that. Oh well. I will check for a reply. Maybe I can get 25 by Wednesday after work. Thanks.

steering coupler
Read the link, maybr it will answer your ??'s The punch needed to remove the pin is 3/16" Your old pin may be sheared if you can only move it 1/8"
You may be able to get the coupler off of the steering box using a tie rod removal "fork" tool. http://www.buschis-place.de/steeringcouplerrepair.htm |

What "shaft" and what "housing" are you talking about? If the steering shaft can move up and down in the steering column, the plastic "rivets" for the collapsible shaft have sheared.

Thank you all for your help. After recieving these directions, its done!! The directions were exactly what I needed. I am now, in the off season, going to replace the coupling with a flamming river universal shaft for it! Thank you again rdrunner1974!!
