Colin,
how long/mls have you been driving now with the welded shaft? I am unsure about the welding, but now I believe that such reworked shafts are normal.

J. Franklin,
I needed the new shaft because I had damaged the original one when I pressed on the worm wheel.

The description of the dealer:
"7 TOOTH STEERING SHAFT AND WORM ASSEMBLY ... 28-29
New shaft and worm assembled for the 7-tooth steering boxes.
Left hand drive. ... "

The picture shows a new shiny wave. But (now) it can also be seen that where I discovered the weld, there is gray color. Apparently all waves are made / renovated in this way.

I will report what the dealer writes about my complaint.
