Slide the splined end of the u-joint onto the
rack input shaft and tighten the set screws
into the groove in the shaft.
Hold the 3/4” DD lower end of the shaft up
against the u-joint. Line them both up
straight and parallel to each other. Mark the
shaft even with the lower end of the rubber
flange around the u-joint. The lower flange
is even with the bottom of the bore in the
u-joint. On the regular u-joint, make the
3/4” DD shaft even with the lower end of the
3/4” DD bore in the u-joint yoke. Use a
hacksaw to cut the shaft to length and file a
1/32” chamfer on the end.
The intermediate shaft should be flush with
the U-joint bore. If it protrudes more than
the pointer shows, it will bind. Use a sander
to shorten it for proper fit.
