EMF Intermediate Shaft Bushing (Pair) 03-22 Dodge Ram 2500/3500
Description
Dodge steering has always been a bit questionable and even off the lot, they've had a little bit of play in the steering wheel. Many times, this isn't due to worn tie rods or bad ball joints but rather, sloppy joints in the intermediate shaft. One joint in particular isn't serviceable BUT can be tightened up with a bushing. EMF took on the task of designing a tiny, press fit bushing to help take up this slack and give any steering column less slop. Sometimes, the answer might be the least expensive option so if anyone feels like they have play between the steering wheel and steering box, this is one of the first places to look!

About WrenchConnected
WrenchConnected is an independent installation marketplace operating in partnership with Diesel Power Products.
How it works
After checkout, we route your vehicle info and part SKU to verified installation shops near you. Local installers review the job and submit competitive bids; you pick the shop you want based on price, reviews, and availability. Your name and email stay private until you select an installer.
Pricing
You pay for the bid from your preferred shop. The full amount is shown before you confirm — installers cannot add charges without your written consent. Payments are processed securely by Stripe.
Your privacy
During bidding, shops see only your service ZIP code, vehicle year/make/model, and the part SKU — not your name, email, or address. Only the shop you select receives your contact details after payment. We never sell your personal information.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
- The bushings should be installed only when the shaft is worn and wander is experienced. New intermediate shafts with no play may experience a resignated tone when collars are installed. Upon installing your new intermediate shaft bushings, some customers have experienced a variable "tone" of road and/or truck noise. You are not eliminating the rubber bushings that Dodge/Ram have installed. You are simply controlling their movement for a more responsive feel.
