Steering rag joints .... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Is there a difference in the manual rag joints and the power steering rag joints?

If so, what is the I.D. size of the two where they attach to the steering box.

Thanks!

Yes--don't know the size.

Fair enough ... let me ask this: Is the manual steering coupler/rag joint's I.D. size bigger than the power steering unit?

I have one that I could have sworn came off a power steering system, but the I.D. seem to be waaay big.

Thanks Again.

You can find repair kits at Napa and the others on their "help" boards. That is what we used on my sons blazer.

Ok guys here is what I found from the lmc truck catalog, I know some of the stuff is wrong but I will asume it is right until corrected. They have the whole new rag joints, listed as follows.

34-0745 coupler- shaft ( rag joint) 67-69 note D- 39.95
note D= Without integeral power steering

34-0746 coupler shaft ( rag joint) 68-72 note E - 49.95
note E= With integeral power steering

34-0747 coupler shaft ( rag joint) 70-72 w/o power steering- 49.95

So I would say yes they are different. But this is my best info avaliable.
Hope this helps.
