You will probably need an adaptor
i do not think the splines are 2cv

Try Zx BX or Xantia steering column parts

they could fit

Ash,
unless you lash out for the Burton steering column as well*, that joint won't be much use to you...

* Stainless steel and € 225,00 :shock:

I used a joint from a GS, it is a long section with a UJ at each end, you will need to cut and weld a section but it fits the spline.

that looks different to the joint I have, mine is approx. 4 inch long and its female at both ends, you would have thought that it would be female on the bottom end to go directly onto the rack and male top for the steering column to attach to but alas not

Ash,
have you looked at the links I posted above, which show that the UJ sold by Burton is designed solely for use with their version of the steering column, which is in two pieces and has the UJ positioned about mid-way between the wheel and the pinion? :roll:
