Superformance Mkiii - Steering Coupling - U-joint
just wondering if anyone has any play in their STEERING COUPLING - U-JOINT
when i turn the steering wheel side to side i get a clunking noise from the steering shaft, its coming from the u joint beside the header, is this normal? cause the lower u joint has no play in it, anyone replaced theirs already?

Most likely the coupling clamp bolt has loosened up.
Pull the bolt that clamps the coupling to the shaft, and check to make sure that it hasn't been overtightened and damaged. The bolt may just be loose, but if you are unsure of it's condition, just replace the bolt.

Post a photo of the upper joint. Depending on what style it is, I may be able to help you out...

That's a different style than mine (car#887).
What is the car number?

Do no accept ANY slop in the linkage of your steering. Do what ever is necessary to correct it, you could lose control of your car. About 3 years ago an individual who was a frequent visitor of this site had a similar situation happen to his car. Fortunately he was driving at low speed in a parking lot when the set screw (on his application) fell out allowing the connecting U joint to fall off the shaft and he lost control of his steering. You don't want THIS to happen at speed.
