M100 sheppard to TWR in Canada also steering shaft slop

[HatzicGuy]

Has anyone had their Sheppard changed out to the TWR steering box in Canada preferably western Canada at a shop.We know live in a condo and gave up all my tools.
In general the rig handles well against big rigs passing but I am always correcting the steering wheel and would be scared to hang on with one hand,hence looking at the steering box change.
Also I took my 04 diplomat 36PST to a alignment shop that said the alignment was fine and they felt the steering box seemed tight but there was slop in the steering shaft connecting the steering box to the steering wheel.
I haven't notice people changing that out on the forum except once,Do you think they knew what they were talking about.They were recommended by a large Moho dealership here.

I also am a member of the Yahoo Monacoers group. There was a recent post regarding the Steering wheel shaft.

I have parts page for my 2002 Monaco Steering column, the part number for my shaft is 916657-437SX

The 916657 indicates a Spicer Shaft, below is a similar one listed on Ebay

You must have missed THIS thread in the Monaco Owners Forum regarding the change-out from the Sheppard to the TRW steering box.

Well worth the read.

I have read all the notes about the swap and look forward to changing mine out but would like to find someone in canada (preferrable western canada) that could do as I don't have the tools to do it.
Otherwise I will probably arrange to spend more money with Henderson. Who I would trust doing the job.
