There is a reason for a roll pin and a reason for a cotter pin. Roll pins are a press fit.
Think about it. It would have been a lot cheaper for the factory to build it with a cotter pin than a roll pin if that is what the design allowed.

That's what I thought, but in my shop manual diagram it actually looks like a cotter pin and calls it a steering tube coupling pin. Pretty small hole, and unless the roll pin is press fit I guess they opted for a cotter pin to ensure it didn't fall out...I know I feel more comfortable knowing it's a cotter pin that can't fall out...Jay --- On Sun, 11/7/10, Gary Wilson <Gwwilson67@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:From: Gary Wilson <Gwwilson67@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: Steering To: 1962to1965mopars@xxxxxxxxxx Received: Sunday, November 7, 2010, 11:26 AM That should be a roll pin. ----- Original Message ---- From: Jay <shelby_nut@xxxxxxxxx> To: 1962to1965mopars@xxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sat, November 6, 2010 10:51:16 AM Subject: Steering ok, moving right along. Found the source of the play in my steering, this car doesn't have a coupler as such, the shaft tapers flat and goes into the power steering gear. This is where it has the play. It looks like it is attached with a cotter pin, which I don't think is right. Stupid question but should there not be a bolt here instead of a cotter pin?
