Have you had any issues with the entire bearing moving slightly while steering? Mine has a very slight wobble inside the housing which is messing with wheel return. I could have someone tack the bearing into the housing but I don't think that you did that right?

**** my feelings are totally fine, I dodged a bullet with that crazy *****.

I broke up with her in 2011 but ok weird flex . Now we have personal insults. I think you need a timeout in the corner.

Ok thank you for your expert opinion. I'll put that thought on the back shelf with my ex-gf's birthday and what I ate for breakfast last week.

Did you just tap in in with a socket or something? Haven't tried anything yet, picked it up during my lunch break

Also will be using this ER-16 flange bearing for the lower bearing instead of replacing the crappy plastic retainer that's currently missing.

Here's a crude picture of the tool I used. And I was mistaken it was a tie rod end tool not ball joint. Similar but smaller I believe. Worked pretty great actually. Newborn and wife were sleeping above me so couldn't use any punches or hammers anyway.

Yeah thanks for the idea man, I have a machinist working on all of the drilling and tapping tonight

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...

I used some garage ingenuity and fashioned a hand press out of a ball joint tool and some shortened bolts and thick washers. Dowel pin out, didn't have to remove my column to get shaft out. I'm going to tap the shaft, and use a 3/8"-24 set screw with loctite. My universal is stainless steel so I...

So I've run into a slight snag. is there a way to remove the dowel pin at the end of the shaft without having to remove the entire column? I know it is in there pretty damn good but I don't know if anyone has had any luck getting it out while still on the car.

That's actually a really good idea because I've been trying to find and 11/32 Cobalt bit to drill a hole in the stainless steel coupler I purchased. But the pain is a oddball size how did you get a 3/8 bolt to fit snugly in the factory pin hole? I would have to probably tap the shaft and just...

Yeah that is my main question at this point. Do I get the 5/8" 36 spline or the 0.620" 36 spline?

I unwound all of the wiring the previous owner ran. I found the problem(s). First was the new plug at the bulkhead was not getting a good connection and causing ignition problems as well. Also the new harness that was taped up had a really bad in-line connection and needed to be redone. It now...

Right, I believe it's is 0.620 36 spline. I found one at speedway motors for $50. The 5/8 ones are 0.625 so that's probably where people run into issues.

How does it install?

I've seen the term DD used before. What exactly is a double d shaft?

Hey all, I have a 72 Demon with stock power steering box and stock column. My factory style coupler hits my headers and some had ground it down to a point where it's unsafe. I have a new stock coupler but it won't clear headers. I'd rather not fight with getting them off to beat the pipe in so I...

Hmm that is interesting . I'm.not super familiar with the pathing, is there a simple-ish diagram to follow how to do this relay trick?

I went through all the steps a second time. This time I used my backup regulator. Everything is working 100%. 67dart273 is the man!:thumbsup::thankyou:

Old thread, fresh problem. I'm having the same issue. Suddenly overcharging like crazy (16.4v at idle). The radio shuts off when the rpms are increased and turns back on with idle. While driving the dash smokes and the alt gauge is pegged. I did the first two tests with positive results. I did...

Shoes are the correct width. I am stumped at this point.

I actually emailed them and the only thing they could think of after discussing what was going on was possibly the shoes being 2-1/2" wide instead of the 1-3/4" that came on pre 72 models

It sounds a lot worse than it probably is. Turning through a parking lot is incredibly embarrassing. I used a sanding disc on an air tool and smoothed it out and it seemed ok until I drove it a bit then it came back. A guy I know said maybe the bearings were installed too far onto the axle? Does...

The parts were installed in the correct order as well.

About as clear as mud isn't it? My brain is getting fully racked over this.

Also, I'll snap pics when I get home.
