My axle from the ca 11 had the early built R-Zeppa axle U-Joint maybe that's why.

I have a real ball inside..... very worn they were cleaned and reassembled with very thick agricultural grease meant for open gears.

Make sure your tie rod is straight..... I found one out of the four I had were bent.

DO NOT sandblast the rubbing/bearing surface of the central parts.

If you need a spring I have some old spares....not aware of new ones and have never been able to find a civvy equivalent to the tie rods on Ebay or special suppliers ...

Enjoy the mess.

PS.... mine were tricky to reassemble with that little spring that fits the two holes in each halves.
