Astro van steering shaft

[story]

Interesting... I noticed mine was all loose and wobbled all over while I was working on the exhaust recently... Is that a common thing with our trucks?

Cool idea but, what is wrong with rag joints? I’ve seen many more fangled up mini u-joints like the i-shaft in your picture on G-vans and P-chassis than I have ever seen fangled up rag joints on trucks. And if a rag joint does need replaced it is a quick easy deal. Come to think of it, I don’t remember ever having to change a rag joint on any customer vehicles when I was twisting wrenches through college. It does look cool though.
