Note: It is imperative when setting up and installing the steering shaft that
the shaft does not protrude beyond the end of the u-joint housing. Damage
and binding will occur if this is not installed properly.
The steering shaft is typically left long to allow for trimming. Mock up the shaft
assembly in place and trim as needed to ensure that the correct length is
achieved.
When installing the shaft you MUST offset the u-joints by approximately 45
degrees. You will find one end is splined to allow the shaft to be rotated and
“phased” to eliminate any binding. You may have to adjust the phasing slightly
from this 45 degree starting position to completely eliminate any binding.
