steering shaft

[sspano01]

Hi folks,

Was wondering if there was a "standard part" that you all had ordered to connect the steering rack to the column?
I have the 32" long flaming river column and a power steering rack, and the march performance pully setup, along with a bbf.

There are several clearance issues regarding the march "wide body" power steering pump...not sure if I will be able to keep it, or goto a manual rack? It looks extremely tight to get from the column to the steering rack - maybe a double u-joint shaft?

just curious as to what others have done.

i'm getting down to the last few items - very exciting! hoping to take it up and down my street in a few weeks.


thanks as always

Hi there, I wanted to see if you ever got an answer to your question for the steering shaft?
Do you have any pictures of what you did?
I am doing the same thing you did and having some problems.
Please let me know?
Thanks,

Do some reading over here and pay particular attention to page 25.

These guys are industry leaders and know their stuff.
DON'T do what some guys have done like putting a shaft into a u-joint that can just pull right out, yes while you're driving! Splines use a groove, double D use a screw indent to lock the shaft into the u-joint. You can kick out around obstacles if you use another u-joint but it must be supported properly. If I can help with design or look over any pics of what you're doing I'd be happy to help.
