Developed an upper steering system to transition from a bevel box to a double U-joint setup to improve packaging efficiency and reduce backlash. Analyzed human dynamometer data, seating positions, and angular misalignment to inform design decisions. Iteratively refined joint placement and shaft geometry to maintain constant velocity steering.
