Actually I used them and just drilled a roll pin thru them. So far so good.....

I only use sweets now.

I weld the smooth onto shaft, spline on other. Not terrible to cut weld slip joint off and replace. Sweet ones look good, and it says no slop!!

For lightweight buggies the cheaper ones work just fine. Heavier ,larger buggies will benefit from the better Sweet joints,IMO.

I have got to find time to weigh my rail ;D I will have to mod the steering shaft when I add ps this winter a long with another mod ;) any ways so I might make the change then to the sweet ones to try them but for now I am going to try a back up nut for the trip. having your steering u joint come off on the dunes really suck btw rofl
