dustydenno Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 would anybody be able to tell me what needs to be done with the steering shaft on an 87' Pathy when doing a 2" body lift? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mauitrailguy Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 I did a 3"... Just loosen the nut that holds it together near the splines and they will come out as necessary when you jack the body up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY1PATH Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 soak it with PB blaster. some of them happen to get the splines seized when they try to extend for a BL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nunya Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 so i can just do a 2" with the stock steering shaft? Yup, the unibody r50 people who do sub frame drops are the ones who have to modify. Wd21 people get away with loosening 1 bolt, a can of penetrating fluid, and sometimes a hammer (I hear they can get jammed up a little for some) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mauitrailguy Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 I have heard that also...PB blaster is definitely a good idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
