You tell that to my car. It don't seem to agree with you.
I was going into the gas station going about 3 mph luckly. When all of a suden I had no stering. So I get out and look and see that the stering shaft had pulled back and the guts of the pot coupling had fell out on the ground. Now I allways run that pin and allso safty wire the thing to gether.
So in short.
You are wrong.
