Steering Joint for 83!

Post by cjdavis »

Hi all,

I'm living in France and just picked up an 83. Vehicle inspections here are quite thorough, and long story short, I have to replace my steering u joint to get on the road. From the reading and searching I've done, these are no longer available.

Anybody have a good one they are willing to sell/ship? Any other ideas?

Thanks!

HI cjdavis, we used to have some very active members such as Vincent in Marseilles they had a web site called http://www.team-go-on.com/ perhaps they might be able to help?
There was a forum also where some people still post http://www.forum-auto.com/automobiles-m ... 9-4025.htm other than that look for wrecking yards or get one sent from OS?
Good luck

these u-joints will fit,cap size is 16mm and the measurement for the in side locks is 1.05" or26.6mm,i rebuild drive shafts and steering shafts and use 20-30 of the u-joint a year,on some of the yokes you may have to squeeze them in a little bit to get the inside measurement
