Steering UJ help
Miks15 - 29/5/10 at 03:00 PM

I guys, i need to get a new UJ for my column, the problem at the minute is, the bmw one has a flange on it, which i can then bolt on the rest of the steering link, but as it is, the flange hits one of the HT leads.

Im either looking for a steel replacement, that i can weld on the the steering link so there is no flange protruding to hit the HT lead, or a shorter one.

Does anyone know of any other car that has 52 splines (i think, i counted them i think i counted them all ) and 18mm diameter.

|Thanks

your nuts. lol counting splines.

why not extend one end and shorted other thus moving the flange

i know i am, only way i could do it Thats why im not 100 percent sure its right !

Well if i cant find anything, im going to have to get someone to weld the uj for me (its ally). Theres quite a big bit between acutal joint and the flange where i can take about 20mm out and weld back up

52?? Sure you didn't count a few laps round the shaft?
