Whitlock Mechancal Steering u-Joint Hunter 456
Looking to replace u-joints on the Whitlock Steering system on my Hunter 456. Seems to be hard to find originals. I’m sure there are off the shelf alternatives out there.

Thanks in Advance. -Bryno

They didn't design and fabricate those universal joints when they were available off the shelf. Check McMaster-Carr or Grainger.
