The OEM coupling acts as a universal joint by DELIBERATE AND NECESSARY DESIGN!!!!

The upper wear of the PI pump is because PI does NOT rebuild the pump. They only add the lower plate WHICH MEANS that ANY WEAR.whetsoever in the pump remains in the pump.

Eleminating the u-joint effect as u have done will most likely cause a binding and or make instalation of the pump to the engine impossible.
