Superspec Steering Column Cv Joint

[alanrichey]

I have a fair bit if play in the bottom CV joint on the steering column despite tightening both bolts. So I suspect the CV joint will need changing before the next MOT.

 

Does anyone know if it is a generic part or a special-to-type ? Do I just need to measure the width of the column ?

 

Thanks

Is part of your bottom U/J welded to the column?

[alanrichey]

Don't think so, it definately has bolts on both sides. Haven't taken them out yet to check.

you will find the play is where the u/j fits on to the steering shaft and will need welding on to the shaft. you can not tighten it enough as the shaft supplied did not have splines on. when you tighten u/j it does cut splines into shaft but not deep enough to stop slight play in joint HTH Dave D

Splines fitted over a round shaft without splines on the steering column (is madness) Any manufacturer doing it should be SHOT

 

And anyone owning a superspec should be checking it
