...push it harder. The noise is not as much as first sound of resistance but it sounds like resistance in the hydraulics. C-bodies have the rag joint, so it might kill the sound from traveling up the steering shaft and exiting through your wheel. Peter is a great vendor, stands by his products...

They don’t have a rag joint 1960-1964. They do have a rubber sleeve at the steering box. Yes the snap ring needs to be in place. watch this video for more info. I don’t like him checking for play and slop with the engine off, that’s not an accurate test at all. System needs to have the...

Not sure if that will work or not, I'd have to see it to be sure since right around that time they changed from the rubber U-flange in between the shaft and the steering box to a rag joint/coupler assembly.

Sweet! I'm envious, I can't wait to drive something old again.

My mechanic buddy who is looking into why my steering feels like it is binding has indicated I need one of these Flex Couplings (or Rag Joint). Anyone know of a definitive source for a 1972 Plymouth? I found some on Autozone but they are Universal Fit.

The rag joint in my 72 Fury had disintegrated and I found basically perfect replacement for us European owners and why not US members too. This rag joint has been used in wide range of VWs and Audis up till end of nineties. VW oem number 111 415 417 I bought Febi brand with number 07924 You...

Hello, all! I don't post hardly at all, but I need your collective insight, guidance, advice, and what-not! Car is a 73 Plymouth Custom Suburban I purchased over 10 years ago. At that time the car was rough and I could tell the condition of the steering was reallly bad. Wandered like a bus...

Naw, you just get a little more road feel through the wheel.

Yes. Looking for the large corbin clamp that holds it in place.

I am not an expert on all things Mopar unfortunately. Does the Monaco already have a rag joint at the column in addition to the factory coupler at the box? If so the rag joint will act as your vibration reducer and eliminate the hydraulic noise.

You mean the rubber rag joint cover?

OK, you didn't say it was 180 degrees out. All this makes sense why your mechanic couldn't correct this with the tie rod adjustment. I figured it was just off a few degrees.... So, yea, you have to take the rag joint apart and spin it 180 degrees. It shouldn't be too hard.

I think that $300 "OEM rag joint" on eBay just dropped in value. Greatly. :rofl:

W Just got home from work, went straight to the garage. It looks like it was that spring you mentioned. Jumped the two halves and horn worked right away. Thanks to mr. fix it, Polara_500, CBODY67 and everyone else for the help :thumbsup: I honestly would have never thought of that. Just now...

Hey Saylor, We made the boxes to fit original pitman arms. Didn't realize you had an issue sourcing them for the C bodies. Something we can look into for sure as well as the rag joint. Thanks!

The way to get maximum assist in returning the wheel to center after a turn is to set the control arms for maximum caster. Think of bicycle forks for a minute, as they are curved forward as they go from the handle bars down the forks to the bike wheel center. That tilts the forks backward at...
