Need diagram showing measurements for lower steering column shaft length for a 70 corvette with a tilt steering column

Alan 71

Hi jwa,
I don't have a dimension for the length of the column.
Might this photo help?
You can see how much the column extends into the rag joint and the position of the rag joint on the steering box.
Regards,
Alan

Thank, this will help. The rebuilt colunm I purchased was collapsed when I received it,probably during handling in shipping.

For a 69 anyway, 4.75 inches should be sticking out from the bearing collar. Not sure if it the same through all C3 years.

1969 thru 1976 Corvette T&T columns should have 4.7 inches of steering shaft sticking out from the lower bearing face.

I need the total length of the lower shaft and the points front which they are measured front.

Hi jw,
I may be mistaken but I believe the dimensions 69 and JS gave are from this point.

We are still confused, the measurement and measuring points is when the steering column is apart the lower shaft is out of the housing.

Hi jw,
Sorry, I thought you were asking about the dimension of the exposed shaft when it's not in a collapsed condition.
Perhaps Jim can answer your question.
