This document is a measurement diagram (blueprint-style line drawing) for a steering intermediate shaft, uploaded as a Borgeson steering intermediate shaft reference for a 1990 Ford Bronco. The drawing depicts a shaft assembly with a universal joint at each end joined by a central shaft with splined sections. Two dimensions are called out: dimension "C", measured across the full span between reference lines located at the outer edges of the two universal joints, and dimension "B", measured between the inner reference lines spanning the central shaft between the U-joints. At both ends of the diagram, the instruction "Subtract 1-1/2\"" appears, indicating that 1-1/2 inches should be subtracted from the measurement at each end when determining the required shaft length. A reader can learn how to correctly measure for ordering or fabricating a replacement intermediate steering shaft: take the overall (C) or intermediate (B) measurement and apply the 1-1/2 inch subtraction at each end. The document contains no part numbers, dates, vehicle model applicability, torque specifications, or textual instructions beyond the dimension labels and subtraction notes.

Frequently asked questions

How do I measure a steering intermediate shaft using this diagram?
The diagram shows two measurements: dimension C, taken between the outer reference lines at each universal joint, and dimension B, taken between the inner reference lines across the center shaft between the two U-joints.
What does 'Subtract 1-1/2"' mean on the diagram?
At each end of the shaft, the diagram instructs you to subtract 1-1/2 inches from the measurement, so the note appears at both ends of the assembly.
What is dimension B on the shaft diagram?
Dimension B is the shorter measurement, spanning from the inner reference line at one universal joint to the inner reference line at the other, across the central connecting shaft.
What is dimension C on the shaft diagram?
Dimension C is the longer, overall measurement spanning between the outer reference lines located at each universal joint.
