Thanks for the input on the steering shaft - did you end up having to have your shaft tac welded?

Yea, you don't realize how important that sort of fine control is until you're at higher speeds and in slippery conditions. Even in the dry, the vehicle feels SO much tighter in control and confidence now so this mod is definitely worth it.
I'm not really a fan of the tac weld method, I just used the smallest drill bit to make a hole and punched a small nail in there. Did not drill through the entire shaft, just one side only. The shear force of that small nail should be much lower than a weld so that hopefully I'm not defeating too much of the safety.
