Precise transmission in the steering system In a truck's steering column, a direct transmission of the steering movement to the wheels is necessary. The U-joint in the steering spindle makes this possible by transmitting rotation between shafts that are at an angle. This keeps the steering response precise, even if the steering column does not run in a perfectly straight line. Wear and steering play A U-joint can wear out due to continuous use and vibrations. This leads to play in the steering system, which the driver notices as a delayed response or an imprecise steering feel. Steering play is not only unsafe but also a reason for rejection at the technical inspection. Replacing the U-joint is then the only correct solution. A suitable replacement for the steering spindle febi supplies U-joints that are specifically designed for the steering spindle of heavy commercial vehicles. These parts are OE-compliant, which means they have the exact same fit and specifications as the original. This ensures a repair without modifications and restores the steering precision as the manufacturer intended.
