Borgeson steering shafts?

[Yeret]

I need to replace my steering shaft. Truck steered fantastic for a while after installing the RedHead steering gear, but the wheel picked up slop again that I narrowed down to the shaft.

From what I've gathered, the Borgeson shafts sound great, but I've also encountered a decent bit of not-so-great reviews, mostly concerning general fitment. They cost about the same as an OEM shaft, and I really can't say much about my original one; it did make it 20+ years before it started getting sloppy. Then, there are the Dorman shafts that cost half as much, but in this day and age of "El Cheapo, won't-last-long-o" replacement parts, I'm leery to go this route...

I'm just wondering if anyone has used the Borgeson shafts, if they've had good luck with them, and if they're any real improvement over OEM. Otherwise, I'm leaning towards just going with an OEM replacement...unless the cheaper Dormans are actually decent...

lm running the Amazon made in China steering shaft lasted longer then expected so far.

I mean...it is just a steering shaft, nothing really complicated about it. I'm just cautious when buying a new anything anymore because it seems that there's no real low to how far companies will stoop to "****tify" a part if it means saving a few pennies per unit, LOL. That, and I've had no shortage of crappy replacement parts in various vehicles over the years. I won't even buy electronics anymore if they aren't genuine OEM, NGK/NTK, or Denso.

I bought one and the u joint started knocking after about 6 months. Long story short the purchase some how got erased from my Amazon account so I couldn't warranty it. I'd stay with factory. It's a two piece and you can buy them separately. That's what I did
