Replace your steering U Joints


Recommended Posts

For years, my steering ujoints have had some slop in them, and it has been bothering me. I looked several times for replacements, but until now, I couldn't find a solution. Then I came across this thread on classiczcars.com:

Well, I called the place mentioned, Simmons, that is in Tucson. They had them in stock. I paid about $38 each, I think, plus shipping. I bought them a couple of months ago, but I just got around to taking the column out, pulling the old ones, cleaning things up, installing the new ones, etc. I was told to reuse the old clips, so I did, but I think the new ones would have worked also. They may have been a few thousandth's thinner...

 

Anyway, they worked great. :P

 

So, rather than post the part number and have everyone source them at will, I figured I send them some more business as a reward for having done the work to search through their inventory and find a match. Here is there contact info:
