Hi,

I have just had to put a UJ in my steering column to overcome a clearence problem caused by the robin hood manifold the proble i now have is the column now needs supporting otherwise it falls into either the chassie or engine

i have a chassie rail running next to the column so was thinking of putting it through a rose joint which would be attached to the chassie. is this ok or does anyone have an easier suggestion?

Cheers

Paul

that is the method I am using, the only trouble I'm finding is getting a rosejoint with a 15mm bore as the metric ones go from 14mm - 16mm!

that is how I have done it but using sperical bearing here's a photo

That looks like what im trying to achive. couple of questions:

1. How have you fixed it to the chassie?
2. where do you get the bearings from?


cheers

I had the same problem and made my own split bearings as I had to pick up on sections of the shaft with either a joint or splines on.

hi Agriv8

Would you be able to stick a couple more photos up? it looks like this solution would work very well with my problem
