Factory Steering Box U-Joint – 1” DD to 3/4”-36

$209.99

Factory steering box U-joint, 1-inch DD to 3/4-36 spline, connecting an FFG column kit to the factory steering box on 1967–79 Ford trucks. Sealed needle bearings.

  • Sealed needle bearings - a tighter smoother feel than pin and block and no grease schedule to forget.
  • Rated to 300 ft-lbs - a published number standing behind the joint that carries your steering.
  • Slim profile - reduced diameter buys clearance where headers and the steering box are already fighting.
  • Matched to our column kits - the joint we specify on 1967-72 and 1973-79 FFG columns with a factory box.
  • Satin finish - it reads as a made part in a bay people will open at shows.

Install Level: Moderate

For the factory steering box only. Aftermarket racks need a different joint.
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.
