+ | Always be sure to check any used parts for wear and defects, and, in this case, add set screws and jam nuts with loctite for added safety. Be advised that if you are going to be drag racing the car at an NHRA drag strip, set screws are only allowed at the bottom u-joint where it connects to the pinion shaft. A set screw and lock nut there will pass inspection. On all other joints from there to the steering column, the parts must either be welded together or fitted with a through-bolt and lock nut. If there's any doubt in your mind as to whether or not a used part is still good enough to use, or if you don't have experience checking used parts for wear or defects -- then by all means, buy new parts. | ||
