A 2in. straight extension, called a coupler, extends the steering box, rack and pinion shaft, or column shaft, and can sometimes eliminate the need for a universal joint. It can be welded or pinned to the un-splined end of a shaft since welding is safe on couplers as there are no moving parts to damage. This coupler fits a 9/16in.-36 spline on one end and a 3/4in. smooth bore on the other.
