    I'm not sure that's a relavent question. Obviously the shaft splines need to be somewhat undersize in order to slide into the joint, but given the amount of surface area any minimal "looseness" is relatively insignificant, and yes the set screws (typically two per) make that moot. Go to this page; http://www.borgeson.com/DESIGN/STEERING%20DESIGN5.html for more thoughts. Note the menu in the grey box to the left for more discussion of other important points of interest.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
