On some factory applications a flexible rag joint coupling attaches the column to the steering box where alignment is perfect. When the original column or box is swapped, that stock coupling may no longer work. This Borgeson OEM-style rag joint restores that connection, and is offered in a wide variety of spline and Double-D sizes to fit most applications.
Specifications:
- OEM-style rag joint, flexible coupling
- Steel construction
- Fits 18MM Double-D x 3/4in. Double-D
- For straight, perfectly aligned connections only
- Made in the USA
- Part Number: 055049
Flexible couplings should only be used where there is perfect alignment between the connecting shaft and steering box.
FAQ
What is a rag joint coupler used for?
It's a flexible coupling that connects the steering column to the steering box, acting as a vibration isolator on straight, well-aligned applications.
What sizes does this coupler fit?
18MM Double-D on one end and 3/4in. Double-D on the other.
Can this be used with misaligned components?
No. Flexible couplings are only intended for perfectly aligned connections between the shaft and steering box.
What material is it made from?
Steel. Flexible rag joint couplings are only available in steel.
