Description

Keep steering input moving from the column toward the steering gear with the DORMAN steering shaft 425-281, an upper intermediate steering shaft designed to directly replace the original equipment shaft. It fits many trucks, among them the 2011-2013 Ram 1500, 2004-2010 Dodge Ram 1500 and 2011-2012 Ram 2500; the Buyer's Guide tab has the full list of applications.

Precise fit: Engineered within strict tolerances and precision-machined for a tight, secure fit in place of the original shaft on the listed applications.
Safety tested: Thoroughly tested to meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, and each design meets rigorous regulatory standards aimed at driver safety in a collision.
Durability tested: Built to meet torsional, tensile, fatigue and other durability testing for dependable operation.
Corrosion resistant: Salt spray testing and a premium coating help the shaft resist corrosion.

The upper intermediate shaft is one section of the steering linkage that carries the driver's input between the steering column and the steering gear. Signs it may need replacing include a clunk or knock felt through the steering wheel while turning, loose or vague steering, or a binding, notchy feel. Other steering components can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the system first. If the upper intermediate shaft is the cause, this DORMAN intermediate steering shaft replaces it.
