Re: Steering
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.

I bought this tilt steering column with this parts, and he told me nothing about a second link. Are you sure? |

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
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?

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? |

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