3. Now that the support is on apply the part 8050300 to the rack and pinion male shaft. Tighten the
bottom allen head bolt. Next screw in the shaft support. This length may depend on angle. Screw it
in and apply the angle to ensure it won
’t bind or hit anything. Once the desired thread length is found,
apply the Jam nut and tighten. Measure the 10 5/8 long steering shaft and slide through the support
into the swivel with rectangular end into the swivel.
4. Next, connect U-Joint #8050250 to the shaft end. Make sure the splines line up. Connect the final U-
Joint, (#8050760) which couples to the steering shaft, to the column shaft. Ensure the side with more
splines connects to the steering shaft. Slide the last shaft into the U-Joint closest to the shaft support,
ensuring all the shafts are fully engaged into the U-Joint. Slide the last shaft into the U-Joint closest to
the support bracket, then slide the shaft into the steering column U-Joint. Once this is done, slide the
shafts into their locations with the notches aligned with the pinch bolt holes. Tighten the rest of the
allen head pinch bolts to 55in-lbs.
