I replaced a unversal joint (the one closest to the fire-wall) on my car's ('78 SC) steering shaft this past Saturday. I've tried adjusting the position of these joints (very limited movement) on the shaft but I still get resistance on the steering wheel like a joint is binding. I get resistance about once every half rotation of the wheel. I feel very little resistance when the front end is jacked up but when I drop it down and drive it I feel a very pronounced resistance every half turn of the wheel. Has anyone had this problem? Any tips or tricks to replacing this joint? I couldn't find any marking or info that would suggest the joint had to be oriented any particular direction and the replacment (thanks Pelican) looks just like the original.

Any insight appreciated.
