Steering U-Joint Relpacement...

Your steering getting more exciting than you'd like? Sudden lane changes you ascribe to crosswind? It's your u-joints, and Aurora installed many incorrectly. Here's why:

U-Joints installed in tandem at both ends of any shaft should be "clocked," or aligned with one another to prevent binding. The small hole (see photo) in the factory- installed u-joints were not aligned, and can result in an audible "clunk."

The part needed for the Aurora steering application is MS-20271-B14, and has a bore (shaft) size of .750. Prices vary quite a bit by vendor: Pegasus Auto racing has them for $109.99; Racerparts Wholesale $119.oo, and best of all, those fantastic folks (Great catalog- great parts source!!) at Aircraft Spruce, $ 98.50. And remember to use hi-shear grade 8 bolts through the shaft.

Sidenote:
If you also have gray ignition wiring, it's probably original 1980s era wire. Heat breaks it down most, so if you have over 50K miles, it may be a good time to replace the wires.
