Put Together a Proper Steering System with Borgeson Steering U-Joints

Needle bearing-style steering U-joints come in single and double versions. Single universal joints can handle steering angles up to 35 degrees. Double universal joints can handle steering angles up to 70 degrees, which often occurs when custom steering gear deviates from a standard OEM configuration. Needle bearing U-joints have zero backlash for more precise steering and road feel. They’ll also last much longer than non-needle bearing U-joints.

Borgeson makes both styles of steering U-joints in the USA. They’re precision-CNC machined from solid billet steel, stainless steel, or aluminum and are available in various sizes for splined and DD-style shafts. Borgeson U-joints are also available for unsplined steering shafts, and some come with a damper to reduce unwanted vibration in your steering wheel.

The Borgeson website has a very comprehensive tech section that will help you choose the right U-joints and even design a proper steering system for your hot rod, race car, or off-road vehicle.
