I could suggest you count them, but if you have the right parts they should fit together just fine. We can thank Eli Whitney and Henry Ford for creating standardized parts.

SOURCE: Easiest method to reconnect the steering universal

The steering column is connect with a shaft that runs from rack and pinion to steering column. A short shaft sticks out of rack and pinion and is attached to shaft with 1 bolt that goes thru the coupler. Usally hid under a boot that goes around the shaft.

SOURCE: How to take out the input shaft on a 1995 gmc

I'm assuming that you are working on a manual transmission. The first thing required is thoroughly clean the outside so that no grit is introduced into the gears and case. The 'cluster' gear assembly must have it's bearing shaft removed so that it will drop into the case enough to allow the input drive gear to pass out of the front hole. Unless you install a special short shaft into the cluster gear as you remove the regular shaft, the small needle bearings inside the cluster gear will fall out of place and the entire gear will need to be extracted, coat the needles with grease and pack the needles back in place (hoping that you didn't lose any!). Be sure to inspect all bearings and gears for excess wear or damage. Good luck!

SOURCE: how input shaft intall transnmission 1999 explorer

Don't jam it in there, take a look at it and there is a key spline, one that is larger than the rest. use of the Mark 1 eyeball as supplied by your creator will indicate which end will fit.

I just had the power steering gear box changed in my 1994 Mighty Max. The steering wheel is now cocked to the left. What would be the cause and what would be the fix?

You missed a spline when installing the pitman arm on the steering box. Park the truck straight and remove the arm. with the arm off, unlock steering column and point the steering wheel straight. Lock the steering column. Then reinstall the pitman arm on the steering box carefully matching the splines in the arm to the shaft on the steering box. that should be close to running straight while driving straight.

REPLACED STEERING GEAR BOX IN 2003 CADILLAC ESCALADE NOW WHEEL IS OFF CENTERED

IF you have a rack and pinion steering pull the steering shaft of the pinion splines and centre the wheels . Centre the wheel and put the steering shaft back on the splines. If it is master splined then centre the steering wheel and adjust each side tie rod until the wheels are centred . (one in -other out ). Remember that when the wheels are straight ahead then the steering wheel will be slightly to the left (USA) to compensate for the camber of the road.. IF a steering box pull the pitman arm off --centre the wheels and the steering wheel and refit the pitman arm

WHAT MAKES THE STEERING WHEEL TURN ALL THE WAY AROUND

The stub shaft spline or the steering wheel shaft spline is stripped and needs to be replaced.
Sounds like someone had the wheel off and stripped the splines on removal/installation at one time.
You can try to improvise a key way slot system on the shaft but you have to be certain it is secure, this will save you a lot of time and money, unless the steering wheel is at fault then r&r the wheel and try to locate a used one when installing it be sure you line up the spline notches.

Where are the splines on a steering column

splines on any shaft are used where two parts are joined together ie: your steering wheel is joined to the shaft by way of a spline. (serrated part of shaft that matches serrated receiver hole). In some cases there is no spline, but a flat is added instead which serves the same purpose of keeping the shaft from turning without turning the shaft it is attached to.
Some lower shaft joints can be either splined or use a flat. Be aware that some splines have a "locator" spline which essentially one fat spline that aligns with a wide spline groove in the receiver hole.
Most splines have a locking collar on them or a cross bolt that helps keep them together, except for the steering wheel that uses a nut on the top of the shaft.
Confused yet? Hope not!!!
Good luck!

I need to replace the rag joint at steering box of a 1976 Doge D100 truck. Can you give me any information on how to do it ?

first thing is to loosen the column mount at the fire wall inside where the column goes through the fire wall and also loosen the column support up next to the dash. so you can move the column up and down. at the rag joint remove the bolts that pass throught the leather dampner between the two pieces of metal one is clamped to the steering gear box shaft and the other is clamped to the steering column loosen the bolts that hold the pieces of the rag joint to the column and steering box. and remove each piece from the shafts. you may need a hammer depending on how rusty the are on the shafts. the steering gear box shaft is splined so when you install the new joint line up the splines so it will slip onto the shaft. a little WD40 sprayed on the shaft will help it slde on. then slide the column into the top part of the joint until it is seated. tighten the clamp nuts and torque to 40 ft Lbs each retighten the firewall clamp and the dash support and you are done.

Hi, I'm trying to put a new flaming river steering shaft onto my 1984 CJ& with the power steering. The new shaft has a 3/4'' yoke and 36 spline count, but I cannot for the life of me get it to mount on the...

check the splines for consistency as many have a master spline ( one wider or like 2 as one) so that the steering wheel always ends up in the correct position
you may have to fit a different yoke to the box to take the new shaft
