My Duster Adventures

I also cut the torsion bar crossmember back a little where the bolt on the transmission was hitting and it definitely helped the header clearance issue. I was able to get the column hooked up to the steering box but the outer tube is still touching the header. I've got a section of collapsible DD steering shaft, a vibration dampening u-joint and ball bearing to do all the steering column upgrades that @72bluNblu (thanks for the help and ideas Brian) did in the threads below so I may just pull the column back out and do all that and cut the outer tube back some.


Replace your lower column bearing: Better and Cheaper!!!
