Re: Need a longer intermediate stering shaft for my 53 S10 Conversion
Go to page 25 in this catalog and read the different design options. Read the degree offset limits for the single and double joints. then use a piece of round wood or 1/2" metal conduit the mock up the travel path; duct tape can be used to mimic the u joints. measure the angles at max and min suspension travel, if memory serve me right 30 degrees is the max for a single joint. For most street applications and straight shaft is ok. In my case shown above I need the slip joint because I know how much the frame and suspension will flex off-road compressing and extending the shaft.
