Signs your intermediate shaft has failed
- Clunk or knock in the wheel over bumps, turning from a stop, or shifting between drive and reverse
- Notchy or binding feel as the wheel passes center
- Play at the wheel with the gear box and column tight
- Rust-frozen slip joint — steering feel changes as the cab flexes
- Visible wear, rust or a loose u-joint cap on the shaft under the cab
Before you order
- Send your VIN and note tilt-cab vs. conventional and 2WD/4WD — length and joint style differ.
- Mark the shaft-to-gear and shaft-to-column position before removal so the wheel stays centered.
- Check the rag joint/coupling and the gear box input bearing at the same time.
- Torque the pinch bolts to spec and use new bolts where the manual calls for them.

Frequently asked questions
Do you sell used Intermediate Shaft for all medium-duty truck brands?
Yes — we carry used intermediate shaft units for Isuzu, Ford, Chevrolet, GMC, Ram, and Mitsubishi Fuso medium-duty trucks, not just the Ford F-550.
Is this used Intermediate Shaft tested before it ships?
Yes. Every intermediate shaft we sell is inspected and tested before it ships, so it works right the first time.

Do you offer a warranty on this Intermediate Shaft?

Do you ship this Intermediate Shaft nationwide?
Yes — we ship to all 48 contiguous states with tracked delivery. Most parts arrive in 3–7 business days; engines, transmissions and axles ship freight and typically arrive in 5–10.
Can I grease the joints instead of replacing the shaft?
Sealed joints can’t be regreased; once they have play they need replacing. An inexpensive shaft now saves a gear box input seal later.
Do I need programming or an alignment?
No programming. Mark positions before removal and you won’t need an alignment, but have the steering wheel centered if it isn’t.
