Steering
 

Not sure if this is the way, feel free to coment.

Did you dimple the steering shaft for the lock screw to set in?
Thread locker on the lock screws?

Re: Steering
 

You need a collapsible link in there. If in the event of a front end collision bad things can happen to your face and chest area.

Re: Steering
 

No, but I will do now! Thanks

Re: Steering
 

I thought the steel U-joint was the collapsible part?
I bought this tilt steering column with this parts, and he told me nothing about a second link.
Are you sure?

Re: Steering
 

The first picture in his post is the part that collapses. That's why they have shear pins in them, not bolts.

Re: Steering
 

U-joint needs to go further onto the steering box to the next set of splines with the set screw in between

Re: Steering
 

Awesome catch there!

Re: Steering
 

I do quite a bit of custom steering and suspension work on all types of vehicles, trained eye.. And big pics on my monitor

Re: Steering
 

So if I understand you right, this steering is safe?

Re: Steering
 

Yes, as long as it is installed correctly and is on all the way. How much engagement do you have with the Double D shaft and the slide?

Re: Steering
 

Yes I have some doubt about my installation. I will do so.
On my box there is a pin (you can't see it on the picture) on the top of the axel (spline) that I need to cut. Otherwise I can't get the U-joint in place as you prefer.
To cut that pin isn't a big deal I suppose. It will not change the steering box function, would it?

About 20 centimetres (200 millimetres)

Re: Steering
 

More than enough, even after shoving the splines on the rest of the way
