Steering Shaft Refresh, While I’m in there? Options

[FL000]

I’ve got a tiny bit of play in my steering, and the u-joint near the front bulkhead has some visible wear. Figure I’ll replace both of them as well as the shaft bearing and coupler. Anything else I should consider? I’m going to preorder the parts so hoping to have what I need on hand. I’ll inspect the rest when I drop the rack.

You were correct about the u-joints @bdstone914 , they were ok. What I thought was a worn joint was actually a loose one. Tightening the bolt nearest the front bulkhead removed most the play. Interesting though, the bolt wasn’t loose but the clamp itself had too much slack and cinching it down more closed it up.

Already had two new joints so installed them anyways, and just need to get her on the road but it feels nice and tight now. Enough where I didn’t bother dropping the rack to inspect/change the coupler.
