Steering Column Repair: 87 Ramcharger steering column, dodge ram truck, dodge ramcharger


Question
I have a 87 dodge ramcharger 4x4 and the steering column is tilt and is very slopy and I was wondering if there is a newer steering column that would interchange with it(i.e. 2000 dodge ram truck, etc.). Any help you have would be great, thanks.

Answer
Hi Travis:

I had to guess that yours is a column shift automatic, so I could check.  Let me know if it's not.  Your column is only interchangeable with  1985 through 1987.  If you are not up for rebuilding it, our company does that.

We have recently uploaded some videos on our company website to give you first hand viewing of how to remove, disassemble, and reassemble the loose tilt column you are talking about. They are broken down into step by step 2-3 minute detailed videos with instructions. Although the videos are for a Chevrolet truck, the column is very similar to yours.

I hope these videos help you.  If not, please contact me again for more information.
Lastly, if you need parts to repair this column simply locate the part on our website and you can purchase it directly through the shopping cart.  We stock just about everything you would need to repair your car properly.
Once again, if you'd rather not build it yourself, we charge $145 plus parts and return shipping to overhaul your column.
Good luck

Doug
