It appears as though the 33 Hot Rods with Coyote engines require a lot of universal joints and shafts in order to connect the steering column to the steering rack.

Does this cause any handling, or drivability issues?

Obviously, we have to pay attention to u-joint phasing. It seems like it would be difficult to get slop or play out of the steering.

If you were doing it over again ....?

Thanks for any input.

I have not had any so far, knock on wood, just need to make sure everything is free moving and the set screws properly seated.

Pretty sure factory five offers "Long tube" headers that eliminated the need for all those universal Joints I would call and ask.
