Default Attaching Steering U Joints
Picked up a 9/16 spline to 3/4 round shaft U joint and a 1 DD to 3/4 round U joint for my steering shaft. Also have the 3/4 shaft. The directions do not recommend welding for several reasons but they dont tell you what is recommended. The DD side and 9/16 side are pre drilled and taped for pinch bolts but nothing on the 3/4 sides.

Any suggestions from your experiences?

I can take the joints apart and weld them to the smooth shaft. The welding is not an issue.

If you did not weld the joints could you drill and through bolt the shaft? Just want to do whats best.

Thanks,
Aaron
