On some factory applications, a flexible coupling or rag joint was used to attach the column to the steering box when there was perfect alignment between the two. If the original column or box is changed, the stock coupling may not work. This OEM-style rag joint fits 11/16in.-36 spline X 3/4in. Double-D and should only be used when there is a straight, perfect alignment between the connecting shaft and steering box.
