Rag Joint Replacement
Okay, yes I did a search and was left even more confusedl...:o
Took me a while of searching just to figure out what the silly thing is called. My Rag Joint has disintegrated. I replaced the steering column and joint with one from a '65. Worked for a day and also came apart. Does anyone know where I can get one of these (new please)? Application: 1966 Chevy C-20 Power steering Power brakes auto 350 (crate replacement) |

Um... my truck is a '66. Weren't there changes to the column in '67? Some kind of slider?

Re: Rag Joint Replacement
Seriously? Maybe do a web search for your year truck.

So the rag joint normally is attached to the steering box.
One end is splined? What diameter and how many splines are there on your box? What diameter and configuration is the other (shaft) side? 3/4" Double D? |

Re: Rag Joint Replacement
You can probably rebuild your exisiting rag joint using a newer one, just take them apart and reassemble using your original metal bits. Did that with my nova long before rag joints where readily available everywhere.

You can buy a rebuild kit.
Grind the heads off the existing rivets. Replace the fiber disk. Assemble with bolts and lock-nuts to replace the rivets. Time consuming grinding off the old rivets but not hard and very cheap too. |

If you have a nearby napa or maybe other quality parts store, there are rebuild kits...you could take what's left of yours and see how close it matches....
