87 Manual Rack Steering Column Splines?
Does anyone know what the size/spline count is for an 87 manual rack? Pulling the factory tilt column in favor of installing a longer collapsible aftermarket column, and am trying to figure out what U joints/adapters I'm going to have to pick up to piece it all together.
At the first U joint off the column (near the booster), is this also splined, or did Mazda use something like a double D shaft?
Thanks!

Too true! Unfortunately, I can't find a male splined stub shaft that will mate to it, so I will end up having to replace the U joint with one that has a 3/4" weld end on one side, and 5/8-36 on the other.
