Re: Jeep Steering shaft

In theory, the weight of the vehicle and the size of the tires should have nothing to do with it. The only variables of concern, are the diameter of the steering wheel, and the arm strength of the driver.

The jeep shaft would have been designed so that a typical driver could not put enough muscle into the wheel to break anything. The only reason it would be different for our trucks, is if we're using a larger diameter steering wheel.
