    Steering Joint Angle

     



    I estimate my upper joint angle (Borgeson 1"DD to 3/4" DD) at 43 degrees. Their spec calls for 35 maximum. It turns the rack smoothly, but I don't really like being out of spec on steering. I could probably drop the column (it is 38 degrees wrt floor) and get it to 35 with a pain in my rump.

    What do ya'll think?

    Many Thanks, Regards, Kitz
