A steering system is made up from many parts, each with its own demands. One of the primary parts in the chain is the steering shaft, which generally has at least one U-joint between the column and box. Borgeson, maker of heavy-duty steering shafts, points out that the U-joint angle shouldn’t exceed 30 degrees (pictured). Also, Borgeson recommends a support bearing on shafts with more than two U-joints and on really long two-joint shafts. Additionally, do not weld on the U-joints, warns Borgeson, because that can cook the grease out of the joint and fry the seals. View Related Article
