Steering shaft replacement - OEM or aftermarket
I think I need to change out some part of my steering shaft. I recently replaced my entire steering rack (OEM) along with itr and otrs.
However, when wheeling I feel a little "play" in the steering. When going slow over rocky terrain and the tires push back and I feel feedback on the steering wheel I think I feel a slight play. Almost like the wheels turning and I feel it hit the steering wheel instead of immediate turning pressure on the steering wheel. Not sure if that makes sense.
I had my local shop check my front wheel bearings and they seem fine.
Anyways, I'm a big proponent of OEM parts but you think it's important to go OEM on the intermediate steering shaft?
