LS style steering shaft

[96LT1355Z28]

There's no U-joint at the bottom of LT1 steering shaft, its a rag joint which is just a rubber disc. It works but degrades over time causing sloppy steering. The LS shaft used U-joints which tighten the steering plus aren't as big which increases header clearance (some have had issues with the rag joint contacting their header tube). The two shafts side by are in the first pic:

Normally the lt1 cars have rag joints that get worn and loose and end up with play. The ls mod rplaces that shaft with the ls one that has a u joint instead. Maybe urs was upgraded at some point

Does your 95 have one visible u-joint (top only) or 2 (top and bottom)?

The LT shaft has a u-joint at one end, and a rag joint plus a u-joint, covered by a plastic shield, at the other. The LS shaft has a u-joint on both ends.

Yeah I'll have look again. The one I saw was at the rack, dont remember seeing the other.

Josh, did you end up making these LS/LT shafts?

Yes, I have 3 of them re-splined just haven't gotten around to putting a tack on them and painting.
