Man i wish i saw this earlier, im mid LS swap on a porsche 944 and have had hell with steering shaft header clearance.

@garyscarstuff 8 месяцев назад

Thanks for the comment. I'm sure you had way more challenges with a 944 LS swap than I did with my car!

@cartermackenzie1135 8 месяцев назад

@garyscarstuff it's my first project car too lol, but this could have potentially saved me around 1200$ worth of header mistakes lol. The solution I have now I'm not the biggest fan of, I'm basically running the steering shaft between the runners in order to keep the shaft in the stock position(headers are from a kit which does it this way). But I really want a set of long tubes lol so I might look into this in the future

Ok, talking from experience, as you know.... Make sure the DD rod is not protruding beyond the inside of the U Joints. It will foul. Next, get plenty of lube inside that Heim joint, preferably before you insert the rod. I'm sure you know this, but just thought I'd check. Great to see you back in the club bay, well done.

Never thought about greasing the heim joint, thanks. I learned the protruding shaft lesson the hard way. This was my 4th or 5th version of this setup!

good you have a spot lets hope it lasts

@garyscarstuff Год назад

Well I have it for at least one year, then who knows....

@ScottRods Год назад

I had to "slide" my rack joint on with a hammer, lol.

@garyscarstuff Год назад

Yes, I remember that video. I sanded the DD shaft down a bit so it slid in slightly easier. Thanks!

Nice!! Glad you were able to get a spot back in the shop. I haven't ever installed a multi-Joint steering shaft. And I still don't know what I'm going to do for steering on the Shoebox.

@garyscarstuff Год назад

Yes, way better back in the shop. Better lighting and help when I need it. I was hoping not to have to go to a multi joint shaft but the header was in the way, so... Its relatively easy to figure out once have everything you need.
