Steering, rag joint?
On my 79' F150, at the end of the steering shaft, it has a large metal piece, then a rubber piece, then it ties into the steering box with a couple bolts. At least that's what I remember it looking like.
Is this what is refered to as a rag joint?
To freshen this up to be safe, is there a specific part or something I can get?
Do I just need to put in a new rubber piece?
I'm trying to tighten up my steering some, when I jack up the truck and pull on the front wheels top to bottom and side to side, I get no movement. I figure this means my tierods and balljoints are holding good for now?
Many thanks for input or advise,
Blair
