Steering spacer

[Oli.g]

Anyone on here make or sell steering spacers to fit a Colorado?
got a 2” bodylift but didn’t come with the spacer

 

[Shayne]

Milners might sell you one

 

[Oli.g]

I’ll give them a message thanks mate!

 

[Chris]

They should have them because I made them the original pattern!

 

[Oli.g]

I’ve sent them an email so hopefully hear back today, it’s a 2” bodylift but the one they sel is 1.5” would this still work?

 

[Chris]

Yes because the 2" lift in the suspension isn't 2" in the steering column.

Can't remember where i got my body lift but it included a steering spacer which made steering very heavy until i loosened the spline collar bolt which was seized solid but driving around the block very slowly had it all come good so i re-tighted the collar bolt and never looked at it since . So theres adjustment to be had anyway right about where the steering spacer fits .

 

[Chris]

Yep you must slacken off the splined sections on the column or the steering will bind.

 

[Oli.g]

thanks lads but unfortunately back to drawing board..

milner apparently don’t supply them!

 

[Shayne]

I'd ask the seller because its likely more of a job to find the material than it is to make the spacer .

 

[Chris]

Odd because there is the spacer sitting in their picture for the lift kit

70 quid is dirt cheap the steering spacer is worth that alone i would say given the headaches it avoids for you .

 

[Oli.g]

I should’ve bought the Milner one but I wanted the extra half inch

 

[Chris]

If I was to make another one there wouldn't be much change out of £70 for sure.
