Steering shaft question


Recommended Posts

Does anyone know where I can purchase replacement u-joints for the steering shaft in my 71 model 240Z, mine are shot as they have way too much slop in them.

 

Thanks

Mike

I have one of the Woodward to Datsun joints that I'm not going to use because I ended up going with a whole custom Woodward rack. You would need to convert the center shaft to Woodward joints on the other end too. I also have another regular Woodward joint. In addition you'd need three of their male ends. 2 to make the intermediate shaft that plugs onto the U joints, and one to weld to your steering column. 

 

The joints are about $60 each. I'd sell these for $80, and I'll cover shipping. You can get a decent idea of what has to happen by looking at my shaft that I made for the Woodward rack.

 

EDIT- Just remembered I have more than enough 3/4" steer tube too. You can have that as well, bump the price to $100 and then you just need three of the male ends and weld it together. Looks like they are $5.30 each from Woodward direct: http://woodwardsteering.com/images/steering%20universal%20joints.pdf (ST201)
