** Phasing steering shaft

BBButch · Dec 7, 2018

I know that you have to phase the steering U joints . I am changing one u
joint to a double, because the angle is to tight.
So I got a Uni-steer 8050910 & was going to use my lower Flaming River FR1759DD .The problem is that the U joints are out of phase , I guess because two different brands of U joints .
Has anybody run into this?
Will it be OK Or can I use them, since I am using a DOUBLE u joint & support bearing ?
It is a Jim Meyers racing front end.

I think if you have phasing problems, they will be best solved by using splined shafts and splined u-joints, as the only way to fix it is to have non-90°/180° indexing of the joints. The places that sell those kind of parts should have some technical assistance to help you.

You mean....a double "d" don't you?. Haven't heard the"U" term before.Always use the same brand -u-joints thru out the intial setup ,of the steering linkage hook up hth bob s

He means that he wants to change from a single U-joint to two U-joints in series, hence the need to phase their angular orientation.

Yes zoopr . have not come up with anything ,I will probably order Framing River Doule U joint cost more , but I think it is only way to fix my problem.
