Factory Steering Box U-Joint – 1” DD to 3/4”-36
Sealed needle bearings. Zero lube. The joint we actually use. Pin and block joints were fine when nothing else existed. They develop play; they want grease nobody remembers to give them; and that play shows up at the rim as the slack you feel every time you come off center. This is the slim profile chrome moly needle bearing joint from Flaming River - 1 inch double D on the column side and 3/4 inch-36 spline on the box side. Rated to 300 ft-lbs; satin finish; sealed for life. It is the exact joint we specify when a 1967-72 or 1973-79 Fat Fender Garage column kit meets a factory steering box. The reduced diameter is what buys clearance in an engine bay that is already crowded. One warning worth reading twice: this is a factory steering box joint. Running a Mustang II or any aftermarket rack means a different joint sized to that rack input. Ask us and we will get you the right one.
Install Level: Moderate
For use with the factory steering box only. An aftermarket power steering rack needs a different joint matched to the rack input shaft.
Confirmed fitment with 1967-72 and 1973-79 Fat Fender Garage steering column kits running a factory steering box.
Sealed needle bearings. No lubrication required.
Rated to 300 ft-lbs. Satin finish.
Sold individually. Shafts and pinch bolts are not included.
Factory Steering Box U-Joint – 1” DD to 3/4”-36 (Satin Finish)
Confirmed Fitment with 1967-72 and 1973-79 Fat Fender Garage Column Kits with a Factory Steering Box
This slim-profile, needle-bearing universal joint from Flaming River is the exact part we recommend when connecting our 1967–72 or 1973-79 F100 steering columns to the factory steering box. It’s compact, smooth, and built to last — the same part we trust in our own builds.
Crafted from high-strength chrome moly and featuring sealed needle bearings, it offers a tighter, smoother steering feel than old-school pin and block joints — with zero maintenance required. The low-profile design makes it ideal for tight engine bays and clean installs.
⚠️ Heads up: This U-joint is only for use with the factory steering box. If you’re running an aftermarket power steering rack (like Mustang II or rack-and-pinion setups), you'll need a different joint based on your rack’s input shaft. Reach out to us — we can help you get the right one.
