Universal Joint Installation

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.

Dimple

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 regularly inspect the

u-joint set screws for tightness.**
