Installation of Universal Joints & Shafting
1. Using a 3/4” wooden dowel rod, mock
up the steering shaft to obtain the correct
shaft lengths and u-joint angle.
2. Once the correct shaft lengths are obtained,
install shafts and u-joints snugging down each
set screw so that it leaves a mark in the shaft.
3. Remove the shafts and using a 1/4” drill
bit, dimple each mark left by the set screws.
4. Re-install the shafts and u-joints using a red
thread locker on the set screw threads. Tighten
each set screw to 25 ft lbs. and then tighten all
jam nuts securely.
** We recommend that you regulary inspect the
u-joint set screws for tightness.**
