ABSTRACT:
A steering yoke has coaxial spaced apart passages. A spindle connection supports a vehicle wheel for steering movement relative to the yoke about an axis corresponding with the axis of the passages. The spindle connection has upper and lower openings therethrough coaxial with the passages. A pair of ball joints interconnects the yoke and the spindle connection for relative rotational movement about the axis. A stud of one of the ball joints is located in a predetermined position in one of the passages. A stud of the other one of the ball joints is located in a position in the other one of the passages in response to positioning the stud of the one ball joint in the predetermined position. The stud of the one ball joint is secured in the predetermined position in the one passage in the yoke. The stud of the other ball joint is secured in the position in the other passage in the yoke. The position of the stud of the other ball joint depends upon the predetermined position of the stud of the one ball joint.
