Re: Steering column replacement advice

I would very strongly recommend using either a Flaming River or Ididit column for your replacement column.

Are they more expensive then the cheap Chinese made ones found all over the interwebs for sale? Yes! But those cheap ones use plastic internals and gears that Will fail. I had a friend buy a cheap one for his 50 Chevy, going around a corner the steering gear in the column failed and he lost all steering! Lucky he was going slow enough he didn't;t crash, but that could have been really bad.

To me a steering column is a safety item and we should not be shopping price, but rather buying quality.

Just my opinion.
