I'd say rag joint

You have the same steering connector as 68 so no rag joint. Question. Is your steering column secured to your dash? If not you may try running a jumper wire from the metal column to a good ground. If the ground wire with the eyelet is not connected tightly to your steering column bolt you will...

A Lars model 220 is the rag replacement joint you need. Will fit perfectly.

Looks like a rag joint

...because my power drill would not fit But it worked. I left the steering stuff inside the car untouched, because the steering coupler / rag joint was replaced years ago by a LandRover part: And when I took that out (four bolts) there was enough room to slide the steering shaft/universal...

I suspect you have a combination of factors which bugger the horn circuit, like a good many other ~60 yr old electrical contacts. I avoid ******* w that bulkhead connector unless something burns in it usually, or otherwise clearly fails. My customary approach when something fails is to...

...wheel from a turn, and STILL have the "play" due to the wear at the input side adjustment needing to be addressed! Same with getting the rag joint replaced and play there minimized! From my experiences, the adjustment of the top-side adjustment needs to be done in very small increments...

Your approach is good!

UPDATE 9/28/25 I cleaned up the horn "button" and metal plate it sits (just some light corrosion) - no change. Seems like the button does "button" things correctly, so I don't know if that is the problem. It's springy and moves freely throughout it's range of motion. Is there a way to test...

If already in there you might consider the borgeson joint to replace the rag joint. I was really on the fence when I replaced my gear box and everything but am very happy with how it feels making the switch.

I would also recommend swapping the rag joint with a borgeson u joint style coupler while you're at it. I rebuilt my whole front end and replaced the gear box but still wasn't quite satisfied with the feel until addressing the rag joint.

...surrounding a word in quotes so it only gives you results containing that word etc. I used to be able to search something like '67 fury rag joint replacement' and it'd come up with actually helpful results like old forum threads etc. but now it's just filled with generic or AI generated...

Any body have any words of widsom for me? i've got the good used rag joint coming in, but the old joint is so bad im afraid to drive the car...dont' want to flatbed it if i dont have to...so may attempt to change the rag joint myself....probably a little above my pay grade! Anyone done this job...

Gotcha. No play in that shaft! Mine remains properly rigid. Replace yours or fix it for sure. Thanks big BIG for the link to the new Lares rag joint coupler too! Those were UNOBTAINIUM until recently. Since I LOVE those early Slabbies best, I'll get one when I get another 65-66 Slabby, 4 sure!

...4-door sedan, 318, power steering, column shift: Standard coupler only. Polara 2. 1964 4-door sedan, hp440 manual steering, column shift: Rag Joint, no standard coupler. Polara 3. 1969 Convertible, hp440 power steering, tilt wheel, floor shift: Standard coupler only. I have seen cars with...

Have you examined the underside of that horn button ring? How about the little copper rod in the spring from the turn signal switch. THAT is THE MOST LIKELY FAILURE POINT! Show us pictures of that turn signal switch and the bottom of the horn button ring. The FACT that grounding that top...

...really bother with painting the exposed metal, I figured all the oil and crud would protect it from rust lol: A floor jack and prying the rag joint off with a crowbar later, and the box was out. The butthead that looked at or worked on the car previously used RTV to seal up the sector...

I can’t speak for older years, but my ‘70 300 convertible has a straight shaft column, while my ‘70 coupe has a rag joint. I thought it had to do with the fact that my coupe has the torsion quiet isolated stub frame, and my convertible has the solid mount frame. Convertible column: But, I...

Yes I bought 2 of them, they look awesome compared to the old style conveyor belt material ones.

...for me to see exactly how the “flexible coupling” works in this particular design, without pulling the steering box out- there is no rag joint, but the service manual shows a coupling, and I was wondering if (when worn/aged) the coupling will produce slop, and if so, where to find a new one...
