this is just my experience , having done countless D shaft installs on streetrods. a ujoint setup offers no [cushion] in the steering, but these are the rigs that have a rack which has bushings at the mounting points. a steerbox mounts solid to the frame, so the rag joint gives the isolation. biggest mistake with a steer shaft with a rack,[hotrods] is when they have to use more than 1 joint they dont time them=binding.
