I have a 84 El Camino, which needs a new intermediate steering shaft. I purchased a 93-98 Jeep Grand Cherokee shaft as I read in many other articles that this is a bolt-in replacement. It won't fit my steering column shaft. The Jeep shaft is about a 1/4" smaller at the top that the present steering column shaft. The Jeep shaft has a 96 date on it so I think it is the correct year. Did I get the wrong shaft or is the El Camino shaft larger that other car shafts as it is based on the station wagon chassis?
I also previously bought a G-body shaft at a salvage yard (was not in the car) and it is 1" too short. So I bought the Jeep shaft hoping to solve the sloppy steering problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
