APPERFiT Steering Column Shift Tube Assembly for Ford F-Series & E-Series — With Plunger, Bushings & Clamps

APPERFiT Steering Column Shifter Tube assembly with plunger, bushings and clamps is a direct-fit replacement designed to restore firm, rattle-free automatic gear shifting for compatible Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models.

This steering column shift tube kit replaces worn or cracked factory components that cause sloppy gear selection, column play, or noisy operation. The set includes the shift tube, shift shaft rod, two plastic bushings, two metal clamps and four mounting screws, engineered to match the OEM dimensions and mounting points for a straightforward install under the dash. Built from durable alloy and finished for corrosion resistance, it supports daily driving loads typical for pickups, vans and SUVs.

How will this replacement improve my steering column feel?

Worn shift tubes and bushings allow the shift lever to move with excess play and can produce clicks or clunks when changing gears. Installing a new tube, shaft and fresh bushings tightens the linkage and returns crisp, predictable gear selection without the looseness of aged parts.

• Eliminates excessive lateral or fore-aft play in the shift lever
• Reduces column noise and intermittent gear engagement
• Restores OEM alignment for reliable shift indexing
