On some factory applications, a flexible coupling, or rag joint, was used to attach the column to the steering box where there was perfect alignment. If the original column or box is changed, the stock coupling may no longer work. This coupler is available in steel and should only be used where there is perfect alignment between the connecting shaft and steering box.
