This Allstar Performance Double D steering shaft is a solid steel shaft measuring 72 inches long with a 3/4 inch outside diameter, the longest length in the Double D shaft family. Viewed from the end it has the appearance of two D's stacked back to back, essentially a round shaft with flats machined on opposite sides. It is often used with stock type couplers and can be installed without welding. It is commonly connected to u-joints with a set screw, and the shaft should be dimple drilled to help pilot the set screw and prevent the assembly from sliding apart. An ALL52132 oversized rod end is commonly used to support the shaft.
