Steering column intermediate shaft

[dguy]

I finally found the source of a rattle in my steering column... 

Does anyone know if these are repairable or rebuildable?

i find them a PAIN to remove, today about 3 hours to remove the front suspension and after failing that we moved to remove the rackand pinion for like 1- 2 hours before leaving it there for the tow truck driver to pick up tomorrow.

The popular opinion appears to be "no" when it comes to repairing the jackshaft.  Oh well...  more scrap steel for the ol' junk bin!

I would replace it there are lots still in wreckers and not that hard to remove, I usually leave them attached to the racks when I pull them. Remember it is a collapsable sleeve to save your chest in the case of a head on collision. If you can't get another I have a good one on my spare rack. Dan

I should have one of those lying around. The rack I got from Dan had one on it, and mine was still good(I think).I will be going to pick up my fiero this weekend down in Brockville so I can bring that back up with me, unless my brother threw it out(which he probably hasnt).  There may be a little bit of surface rust on it due to being outside for a month. I can show it to you anyway and you can decide if you want it. Unless of course you already have another. Maybe I can get you to look at my old rack as well.

Hmmm...  very tempting, both of you.  I had a spare shaft which is now on the car, but for some reason not having another good one "on standby" bugs me.
