I test fit my PS steering unit before painting the frame, but didn't catch this problem. Everything bolts in but the steering intermediate shaft is to long and the ujoints bind, so it won't turn. Plus, it looks really wonky. Yes, I'm told by Kenny that wonky is a word.
I bought a cobalt shaft, off eBay, and the splines and diameter on the steering gear/intermediate shaft are not the same as the HHR. I'm trying to figure out if the two cars have different splines or did I just get sent the wrong steering shaft.
Does anyone have their intermediate shaft off and willing to count splines for me? I have 36.
Also in the interest of being thorough, my PS unit shafts are 9.75" and 6.125" long from the center bolt holes on the DF manufactured mounting "L" btacket.
Also, when I install the lower end of the eBay cobalt shaft to the rack, it won't turn due to confiicts with the firewall.
