E46 Racing Steering Shaft Assembly
These high quality u-joints are made specifically for the E46 BMW chassis and are equipped with caged needle bearings with a slight preload to completely eliminate backlash. The bearing trunnion is a single piece of hardened chrome-vanadium tool steel. The grease seals are high-durometer fluorocarbon o-rings in compression against the end surfaces of the needle bearing cups. This means the seals will resist sustained oven-level heat and will retain the bearing grease under severe conditions.
*Off-road use only.
/// PLEASE NOTE: The OEM u-joint uses a pinch bolt, making the tolerances a lot larger when installing. These u-joints use set screws and the tolerances are higher to reduce any slop in the steering. Please make sure your splines are cleaned and not marred up. You may need to tap the u joint on with a rubber or dead blow hammer. Please do not use a metal hammer to hit the steering shaft on.
