Steering Shaft which way up?

[ProjectChimaera]

Brain fade, can't remember which way up. Splines fit both ends.
Can't see from my strip down photos which way.

Are the splines the same length on each end, can't see it making much difference.
Did you mark the shaft and each knuckle joint?
If not then when you put it back in after centreing the steering rack and wheel make some marks so if you then have to remove it again to fine tune it to centre the steering wheel you have some reference points to go by or you could be messing about for ages.

Be careful when tapping it into the lower knuckle that's connected to the rack, mine seemed very tight so used a hammer to tap it in and I think that caused the upper rack oil seal to go, I had to remove the rack and replace the oil seal

Someone more knowledgeable should be along to confirm shortly.

The one that goes from the column to the rack? MIne was a different size each end...


I think..

I swear it was and I only did it last week

Congrats on the 9,000th post.

Damn I ruined it and made another

I'll have to plan something profound for my 10000th rather than post my normal nonsense


Phazed is right, just walked past mine and had a look, both ends are small so either way
