Chrome steel universal joint with nickel-plated, corrosion-resistant surface for steering applications. Length 5.2 inches, designed specifically to couple a 3/4" DD steering shaft to another 3/4" DD shaft.
Secure steering connection, thanks to 3/4" DD to 3/4" DD coupling
Designed to mate a 3/4" DD steering shaft with another 3/4" DD shaft, using a direct-fit coupling form. Set screws and jam nuts hold the connection in place once aligned and tightened.
Direct-fit replacement simplifies swapping shafts without custom modifications. Tightening the set screws and jam nuts yields a solid mechanical link that resists play under steering load.
Corrosion-resistant longevity, with chrome steel and nickel-plated surface treatment
Manufactured from chrome steel with a nickel-plated finish to resist surface corrosion in workshop and roadside environments. The surface treatment reduces oxidation compared with untreated steel.
Reduced corrosion risk helps maintain fit and function over time, lowering the likelihood of premature replacement. Suitable for use where occasional moisture or grime is a concern.
Straightforward fitment, with standard fastening hardware and clear installation steps
Installation uses conventional set screws and jam nuts and follows a simple sequence: access the steering area, remove the old shaft assembly, install the replacement U-joint shaft, then tighten fastenings. No specialised machining is listed as required.
Installation is achievable in a typical garage setting by trained technicians or capable DIYers. Clear steps reduce workshop downtime and make swaps faster during routine repairs.
