Thanks again for that information Bob. What epoxy did you use?


To report back....


My new JP Group U joint solved the steering return to centre issue. I
didn't feel any play in the new U joint, bearing caps look ok but I
may epoxy the caps with JB Weld or Permatex Steel as a "safety".


I don't know if Terry Kay still rebuilds these U joints but I'll
likely send my old one to him. If its even a viable core.


Neil.
