I'd pull the wheel and the hub off the splined shaft, when the road wheels 
are pointed straight ahead.   Install the cam in the proper 9 o'clock 
position, after test-fitting it on the hub.   Then install the hub so that the cam 
is engaged properly, and finally, reposition the wheel on the hub as 
necessary.   You can then fine-tune the straight-ahead position of the road wheels 
using the tie rods.   No need to fool with U-joint splines.

Cheers!
