Correct, there is now 1 ujoint where before there were 2. That means eother twice the work by one joint, or, as was mentioned on the linked site, the pilot bearing on the rack input shaft would more likely see the excess strain and possibly fail there. Also, a safty feature was the additional tabs coming off where the rivey had been. He removed it. They function to act as a very loose connection in the event of a rag joint failure. Now not only has he moved the misalignment from the rag joint location to possibly the rack, he has also eliminated a safety feature should the joint istelf fail. Not very well thought out.

Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?
