Steering shaft issue

[Ryo]

The idea is good but i doubt it will withstand the drilling those bushings seems fragile i already tested i tried to melt one broken in order to weld another as i have 3 shafts but none is complete the other two i dismantled few years back. Yes stupid i know that i figured now that this part should be not dismantled. Looking more on the bushing place on the shaft you can notice it its like U shaped i think if they factory sealed this two points they used liquid like silon. As the material was sticking outsie the holes on the main shaft where they a are bind together the holes are 2mm in diameter only.
