Stupid Steering Coupler Question

This may be unwarranted, but I'd prefer a clamp-type. I just redid a bunch of steering linkage with multiple u-joints, and found a ton of my slop was due to loose clamps. The difference in play between snug and 15 ft-lbs was very significant.
Has me considering putting a similar clamp-type u-joint in my dart's steering column, in fact.
