too long remove the tube side u-joint and cut to size. If the shaft is too
short, extend it past center, but NOT more than 2.5 inches.
NOTE: Some applications such as early Jeeps & GM’s include a stub
shaft that needs to be pinned into the tube side of Unisteer shaft.
Account for this additional length. (see fig. 5-6 below)
