Universal steering couplers

Hmmmmm, dick with the factory-designed steering system that's engineered with my safety in mind, or dent the aftermarket headers that are so poorly designed they don't fit in the first place.

Hmmmmm dent the headers or add a part that's not designed for axial loads transmission and apply repeated cyclical axial loads ...hmmmmm

Dent vs. Safety. Hmmmmm

Dent vs. Safety. Hmmmmmm

Yeah I'm outta idears on this one. Weld up the slip joints on your transmission output shafts while you're at it. The drive shaft will just flex and it'll be fine. Then you can brag that you did it better.

Well I guess all of these people who have done it and all of the companies who sell these style steering joints are just killing everyone. My 2019 Mazda has a universal steering joint, as did my 2017, 2015, my 2000 Celica, my 11 Scion, our 07 and 19 santa fe's.....etc etc. I guess they are deemed not as safe as some **** coupler box designed by the same people who thought of bulkhead connectors, reverse thread lugnuts, and ammeters. I'll take my chances with my setup. I've got plenty of guys who supported my idea who have a lot more experience than I. Or pull engine just to get some crappy headers off that I don't plan on keeping anyway. I've tried map gas and lots of tools to try to dent the header pipe in, that was my first plan. So.....✌️
