I use the all metal racing u joints Pegasus sells. Don't have a part number but all you need is the shaft diameter and the number of splines. Might have to grind a flat in the shaft for the lock scre

The Borgeson u-joints are the way to go. One thing to be very cognizant of with these - unlike the stock U-Joints, the don't do a through pinch bolt with an interference fit - they use a big set scre

Tony, it's not a bad idea to drill and tap a hole on the other side of the U-joint from the set screw and put another set screw in. Loctite never hurts too. Bill -- Original Message -- From: "Tony Dr

I'm not an engineer, but I was taught that you never want set screws across from each other - then you are just riding on the small tips of the set screws.B If you want to add another set screw, it s

I agree, for what little that is worth. But I might be tempted to find a way to pin it in place rather than relying on a set screw and Loctite. It's no damn fun to lose your steering even at low spe
