Drag pack Challenger owners should beware of potential problems arising with the OEM steering shaft due to the high effort of the manual rack.
The lower column on a DragPak in my shop is twisted in the collapsible section of the shaft . The Knee knuckle at the top of the shaft also shows signs of twisting.
On the first DragPak I built , I eliminated this part during the build because it looked weak ,this confirms that .
Some of the NHRA tech guys are aware of the weak appearing knuckle and would like to see them replaced .
If any of you need info on how I replaced the shaft ,you can send me a PM .
Its a relatively simple fix for a potential problem.
