Firewall Mount Steering Flange Sleeve, 3/4 Inch Shaft

When i receive this product, the bearing was really really hard to turn and it get stuck many time. Then the diameter was to tight for a 1 inch shaft, I had to sand the OD. The to holes for mounting the bearrings is to tight each other for a good mounting. the finish quality is really bad, still have sharp edges. And, even if sometimes the bearing get stuck, in some angle the bearing have a really big shaft play. And finally the bearing make big noise even with good oil. I order 2 for my carbon fiber steering shaft, but this poor quality product wont be in my racecar, make me loose time

I purchased the 1"" shaft version of this product. The ball is extremely thin, and the fit between the ball and race has no preload (actually, it is worse, it has a noticeable play of about .010.) Possibly because of how thin the ball is near the edges (there is no flat surface like that pictured, but the picture may be of a .750 ID unit) and was deformed or crimped over, it was impossible to slide the bearing over a shaft that measured .995. It took significant deburring of the edges of the ball on the ID before the shaft would fit. I'll likely purchase a bearing unit that has two mounting plates that clamp together to fix the ball angle when tightened, and that has a shaft collar built in to ensure a good fit of the shaft like the other steering bearing I have.
