Zoldman Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Hey all, I'm redoing my steering rack and found that both the steering u joints on my 260 are stiff and have a "grinding" action to them. There is one at the rack and one mid way up the steering shaft. I can't find any in the MSA and Victoria catalogs, but I'm hoping someone has dealt with this before and found a replacement source. I searched on "steering u joints" and got no answers. Anyone have a solution? Thanks Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
80LS1T Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 If you cant find them you might have to pull them out of the intermediate shaft and just take them into a parts store and match them up. Most people just replace the whole shaft because working with those tiny u-joints is a PITA. Some one like SPICER has to make them.

johnc Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 All the steering shaft U-joints I've seen are staked. No driveline shop that I've shown them to will touch them. Right now, I just source another shaft to replace worn ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
