rag Joint Replacement

[miket]

Hey guys,

New member here...

Have a 73 /302 and am looking at replacing the rag joint. Question, I am trying to replace just the RAG piece but it looks like the two cylinder bolts are not removable. Is there a trick to removing these to replace just the rag spacer or do you have to replace that whole piece?

Depending on how you use your car, the rag joint is important. If you don't want vibration in your steering wheel, replace it with a real rag joint. Been there! http://www.wildhorses4x4.com/product/Steering_Rag_Joint_7377yr

It is a vibration and shock absorber, Keep it.
