jeep steering shaft problem

[pontiacgp]

the top joint is removed, turned 90 degrees on the splines, then shaft end is peened as it was by the factory. Please explain to me how it could strip. For my lower joint I have a borgeson knuckle to attach to my delphi 600 Chrysler box. The Safari shaft is cut to removed the splines and lower joint. the borgeson joint is installed with a 1/4 allen screw that goes through one side of the shaft and another allen screw is pinching the wall 90 degrees from the other allen screw. Does that set up pass your approval?

If you re-peen the joint it won't move/strip. I was under the impression you didn't rescuer the joint anyway after reassembly.

To reply to your edited post, I don't care what your setup is, ok. You can have your shaft anyway you want!
I was just surprised you didn't secure the upper joint after you turned it. You didn't mention on your other post that you re-peened the joint after you turned it until after I posted.
So do your shaft anyway you want, it's your car! Whatever!
The one reason I never did these conversions for people is the responsibility/ legality that comes with modifying a major steering component like this.

I refereed to the video if you had bothered to view the video you would have seen that it was peened after it was rotated. There was no need for me to explain how it was done because the video did that. I edited my post because I realized that you were not bright enough or too lazy to watch the video so I had to explain it in full just for you.

I skipped all this and just went with the full Borgeson set up, what I like about making my own steering shaft was being able to move the collapsible section to where it had the most clearance with the headers.

Yeah, I watched that video about 3 years ago on the third gen board where it originated from.
It's not my fault you didn't explain your original post better, maybe instead of being a ******* and insulting you could have clarified what YOU did.

Have a nice day 🙂

wow, in the future please disregard all my posting or be polite enough to ask questions instead of assuming

We built it all on our late models that gets expensive but it must be a great system you have. One Borgeson knuckle up here is over $100, the last late model we built had 3 knuckles

I did mine probably 5+ years ago and I think I paid around $175 then for everything which was the 2 U-joints and a collapsible shaft all uncoated, I think now each of the joints go for over $75 here.

Yes, I assumed you didn't rescuer the upper joint, my fault, my bad, but I wasn't the one who was impolite my friend.......
