can anyone tell the spline count and diameter for the u joint to connect to a cavalier rack? or even better a part#

my parts are a long way from me right now and i want to get parts ordered soon.

thanks

The cavalier rack does not have splines, it is a 17mm DD type shaft. Flaming river make a u joint that fits part fr1759dd

my cavalier rack has a different input shaft it's splined with one flat, it is manual i don'r know it that makes a difference or maybe it's just an oddball?

you may very well have to count the splines and measure the flat and contact a company dealing in Borgeson or Flaming River for the proper joint..second you will also have to be able to tell them what intermediate shaft (hopefully telecoping) and its deisign and also verify that the shaft will also connect to your steering cloumn if you are changing this items also...mix and matching of components can be quite confusing..time consuming and more than not may reequire some welding of components....DO keep in mind that whatever you use, these joints if more than one is involved in the connection of your column to the rack, they must be in phase same as your driveshaft requirements to get optimum range without bind..
