To accommodate the body lift on my project, I am replacing the steering assembly between the power steering box and the shaft on the column. This is comprised of two 3/4" ID smooth bore u-joints and a section of round bar in between them. One u-joint connects to the input of the steering box (mounted outside the frame rail) and the other u-joint connects to the end of the shaft coming out of the column.
I just got my new u-joints in from Summit and they have no set-screws in them. The the old ones I'm replacing did. They are anodized chromemoly construction and the round bar I got at the hardware store is steel, though it looks to have a shiny silver finish to it, perhaps galvanized.
Question: can these be welded together?
This is my steering we're talking about, so it has to be done right. Thanks for your comments.
