My Borgeson U-joints were bought from Contemporary in the mid nineties and have an E7 stamped on them, don't know if that is the part number. I think there was an earlier thread on this. I just tested a stock Jag rubber mount in shear like the tie rods put on it. Each one deflects .015" when loaded with 50 Lbs so the two combined will only deflect by this amount with 100 Lb of load from the tie rods. Isloate at the source and then put some precision bearing U-joints on the intermediate shaft and you can be happy again!
