| − | i like this article but there are some flaws in the design. I am currently finishing a 350/th400 in a 84 ranger, so I'm going thru the same fiery hoops that this guy is going thru. One, If the hemi joint is not a designated "square" bearing the longevity will be diminished. I had to have a pipe lathed down and welded. Two his two carden joints are out of phase 90 degrees. It may work but not with out unnecessary movement. I repeat I like his creativity and design and appreciate the thank you for the effort.

| − | I agree with the comments above. I tried to add almost the exact observation (and similar praise) for the described project
| |
| − | on the WIKI page but got erased immediately. Another problem with the design as shown is the Heim intermediate bearing is redundant.
| |
| − | If the top shaft bearing is adequately rigid and the steering box is obviously rigid, the Heim bearing will only serve to add
| |
| − | stress to the system. It is impossible to perfectly line up three in-line bearings and this added constraint will add stress.
| |
| − | May be minimal but is a negative. The bearing is not needed just ad intermediate bearings are not called for in a two U-joint
| |
| − | drive shaft. Otherwise I applaude the Pick-A-Part approach!
