Where do you all get em and what size are they. I have a standard size shaft and am at work so i can't measure but wanting to pick up a u-joint and a couple of bearing blocks on the way home.

Thanks

most buggy shops carry the standard 5/8" (i will assume thats what you have). Race shops like Summit carry them. Automotive parts houses and tractor supply, farm and fleet may.

So 5/8 is the steering shaft OD? Or is it a 5/8 u-joint? Thanks :)

I just measured a new shaft I have and the OD is 0.875" and the ID is 0.665

I stand corrected. I did a little research and the 5/8" is typically a splined weld on shaft. Steering shafts are avalable in 3/4" and 7/8". My new buggy is using 3/4" shafts with and with out splines.
