You should be able to determine if the joint is bad or not. Visually, if it looks like it's frayed, or disfigured, it's shot. If your steering is wierd, well...
There's 2 bolts, going through the joint. You need to keep the steering wheel straight, loosen the bolts for the rag joint, and seperate them. Replace the ragjoint, and retighten. Let us know how it goes. Last time I replaced one, it was for a '71 Chevy.

Ford did not furnish the steering coupler (rag joint) separately for F100/350's after 1981, as it's part of the steering shaft & coupler assembly.
