Have an 81 fj40, and after installing an aqualu tub and cowl the steering column doesn't completely line up with the rag joint on a minitruck PS gearbox. The body is lined up on the frame and while I haven't finagled with with gearbox itself, I was thinking about replacing the rag joint with a double u-joint.
In this particular case, with the collapsible column, does there need to be a support bearing at the firewall for the shaft? I wouldn't think it would work out too well if there wasn't, probably flop around.
Or would a single u joint be a better option, and not require a support bearing at the firewall?
Any thoughts are appreciated, Thanks!
