i am still after one if you have it. would just need a pic of the bottom coupling bit to ensure it was the correct orientation for my car. i bought one years ago and for some reason the orientation was 90 degrees out so it didnt really work properly as the universal joints weren't correctly aligned.

cheers

its the UJ before the splined bit that is attached to the column. the splined bit has a flat on it to align with the UJ on the steering rack. its the orientation of the UJ on the column to the flat on the splined bit i need to check :)

no good mate. thanks anyway :(

anyone else got a steering column with the flat on the bottom splined section being 90 degree from the pic above?

Out of interest, why does it have to be 90 degrees out? can you not just turn the rack to suit?

the flat will only fit in the joint a certain way. the angle of the removable joint on the rack is then at the wrong angle compared to the fixed joint on the column. when you turn the wheel they kinda fight each other so it doesnt really work.
