How to add a U-joint to a steering shaft | From th...

I am confused between the outline of “elevating” of the steering wheel and the picture of the decrease steering shaft displaying the shaft apparently u-jointed to permit it to be dropped (pointed downward from the steeply-upward angle of the rack enter shaft). My first query was going to be why not rotate the rack in its mounts, but it surely’s a bit extra sophisticated down there. Anyway, meals for thought on subject. Thanks.

U-joints ought to be put in in pairs with the 2 joints put in 90° out of section, except the angle change between shafts is absolutely small, by which case one joint is okay.  Assuming the deflection angle of the 2 joints is similar, the 2 joints cancel one another’s rotational velocity error and the sum of the joints turns into fixed velocity.  The tradeoffs are the free play launched by 2 joints as an alternative of 1 vs. the rotation velocity error.

Anyway, my principal level is that when mentioning two U-joints, you will need to bear in mind to put in them 90° out of section.  

The steering in my Morris Minor Problem automotive.  I used to be advised that it wants some “checking out.” 
 

That is a fairly sharp bend coming from the bulkhead.

“Sharp” being what, perhaps 15 levels?

Surprise additionally then why the Double u-joints are provided not 90 levels out of section?
