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.

| − | From left to right: 1st is the double D shaft and tube, with the tube having a set screw and jam nut. 2nd is the outer steering joint, with a lower steering column bearing attached, which goes ino the tube that is coming out of the firewall. This helps to hold everything, for added safety. You can't see it in the photo below, but it also has a set screw and nut on the Double D tube. Also, a set screw and jam nut has been added to the opposite side of the locking bolt. 3rd is the inner steering joint that attaches to the column on the inside of the cab. 4th is the bottom of the '93 Buick Park Avenue steering column that's being used in this example.

| − | The steering shaft going through the firewall is made up of one-half GM FWD steering joints, and one-half Chevy Astro Van steering joints. The piece of pipe coming out of the firewall is an exhaust pipe reducer. Here, the end of a steering column was cut off (with the bearing), and the piece of tubing that holds the bearing was then welded into the exhaust reducer. This is done for extra support, and to help seal the cab from exhaust fumes. | + | The steering shaft going through the firewall is made up of one-half GM FWD steering joints, and one-half Chevy Astro Van steering joints.

| | + | ==Improvements to this design== |
| | + | *If the Heim joint is not a designated "square" bearing the longevity will be diminished. |
| | + | *The two Cardan joints are out of phase 90 degrees. It may work but not without unnecessary movement. |
| | + | *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; intermediate bearings are not called for in a two U-joint drive shaft. |

| | + | ==NHRA rule compatibility== |
| | + | If this assembly is to be used on on a drag race car which will run under NHRA rules, the only acceptable retaining devices are welding or "completely through the shaft" bolts and nuts. No set screws allowed except at the rack pinion. |
