:ö: arch,
thanks for the additional info!, but i found it easier to build the middle part of the joint by, drilling two holes first on a 2mm rod, then shape/shave it up to the point that it'll fit between the first two parts... there you go again, with your, "i think i can't do that!" line, hey, i thought it was impossible for me too!, but i really want an 8 x 8 all-wheel-drive truck.. then i give it a try.. and it works! it's a bit harder than making the front axle at first, but give it try!, though, i suggest you build your truck first, with a rear wheel drive, this will build your confidence to try building a front drive/steering axle.

.. right now i'm in the process of building the second front steering/drive axle to complete my 8 wheel dirve truck project, hope to finish this truck soon!
i'll try to post some pics of my 3 finished axle, including the front axle..
hey, how's your project truck doing?
