I don't remember which shaft has the pin in the middle to hold the center ball in place. The pin hole is the weak part, that axle cracks through the hole.
Once cracked that yoke spreads, and rubs inside the housing.
The one I cracked 40 years ago busted the knuckle housing out too. That was from tiurn to laft lock and hitting a bank, compressing that front spring, and I guess allowing further leftness?
