A steering coupler is a straight, roughly 2in. extension used to extend a steering box, rack-and-pinion, or column shaft, and can sometimes eliminate the need for a universal joint. It can be welded or pinned to the unsplined end of a shaft, since there are no moving parts to damage and the steel is less susceptible to heat damage from welding.

FAQ
What is a steering coupler used for?
It's a straight extension used to lengthen a steering box, rack-and-pinion, or column shaft, and can sometimes eliminate the need for a universal joint.
Can this coupler be welded?
Yes. Since there are no moving parts to damage, welding the coupler is acceptable, and the steel is less susceptible to heat damage.
What sizes does this coupler fit?
11/16in.-36 spline on one end and 3/4in. smooth bore on the other.
Does this coupler pivot like a universal joint?
No, rigid steel couplers do not act as a pivot point; they simply join two shafts to create an extension.
