Hi,

I have a Manual steering box.

Wondering if the Astro/Jeep shaft will still work ....

Also ? Anyone can point out the difference between the 2 options ?

Thanks much !!!

Jeep shaft will definitely work. I have one in my car with a manual box

Yes and yes but the astro shaft upper coupler has to be rotated 90 degrees

Thanks guys !

So should i be looking for a Jeep Shaft instead of a Astro ?

Beside the rotating ... anything different?

2wd Astro/Safari shafts are easier to find and they are like new due to the rubber cacoon that hides them from the elements....like TURNA...(aka Santa) posted, the upper joint needs a minor modification

You also have to notch your column shaft in order to get the bolt back in the holds the upper joint
