Wrong piece to buy. This is what you want. That rubber is just... well rubber and nothing like the original part. Steering coupler found

reached out to murray earlier today! hopefully he can hook me up.thanks!

THANK YOU DAN!! BIGTIME THANKS! Never having mucked about w a clutch on these, I would NEVER have found this bit of Moparian Lore on my own. This rates as well as the Landrover rag joint for a '66 C body steering column.

Yes, I used the solid aluminum piece for a quick temporary fix. I was astounded how my "rag joint" was so totally ragged that I had to do something while I acquired either a 50 year old NOS item or the Land Rover item. I got the LR and modified it as we've all discussed here, and it's...

...fiddly and you need to be a contortionist to some degree to actually get access to the parts. I am going to assume that the setup for your rag joint is very similar if not identical to C bodies, although I don't know for sure about Imperial until I look it up which I can't do until I get...

I think you may not be hearing steering box noise, is because the C-body rag joint in the column will kill the vibration noise from box. I installed two of the Borgeson boxes in customers B-body cars, and had to remove them because owners could not put up with the noise. If I needed a steering...

Thanks guys. I have a stethoscope tried that…and couldn’t really hear anything different. Put it at every exhaust port and gave it some gas but heard nothing. I put shop vac on “blow” and pumped into exhaust pipe sealed with a rag and tape…plugged other exhaust…went under with some soapy water...

The spring is your horn ground. One of the round loops broke on mine as well. I just made a new one with copper wire. I'll give you a call in the morning about the "metal box".

...box and not connected? It has two metal pieces at the end that goes inside the box. Also, a small spring broke that was through one of the bolt holes in the rag joint. What is that for? Do I need to replace it? If you could call me, it would be easier to explain 309-369-1213 Illinois...

...on this forum..i reallly love my Imperial but im more knowledgeable about the older cars. .right now i'm staring at a completely shredded rag joint that has the car sidelined, trying to figure out why the part numbers for '65 and '66 are different then the other C bodies, and also different...

On our '66 Newport 383 2bbl, only two Phillips head screws on that gravel shield for the steering rag joint. Took them out and the cover fell off. With it off, a spark plug socket and a straight extension is all that's needed. I ended up leaving the cover off with no issues. When I put it...

...wheel complete to @oliver for a spare. Maybe reach out to him to see if he is using it? I do still have the complete column, I dont know if it has any useful parts on it. I know the rag joint is bad. I also have some random trim parts lying around, but don't remember what, I’ll let you know.

The rag joint in my 64 Imperial was bad, you wouldn't believe the difference it made I got mine from Murray Park, it was used, but in remarkably good shape And an added benefit, my horn works all the time now

...parts is taking time. But, a couple lessons learned so far, include that I should have removed the four socket head capscrews from the rag joint first, need to turn the wheel a bit, and easier with pitman off. Mark the shafts to realign. With the capscrews out, you can simply slide the...

...on it. Has a Hemi grind cam and headers. Rebuilt front suspension,brakes,new clutch,radiator recored,new heater core,new alternator,new rag joint and freshly sandblaster and painted 15X7 police rims with new tires. New NOS front fender and hood chrome. Interior is decent but showing it's...

Hi everyone, I just had to change out my gear box and while I was at it, I seen my rag joint was shot. I searched all over but couldn't find one. While I waited to find one somewhere, I did read in these forums about using a Rubber Hockey Puck... Which worked! However I didn't want to leave...

Pretty much done now on this project. The Lares eqpt is the best, imo, this including the new design gear, the rebuilt PS pump, and the new rag joint. Yes, some issues with fit of the box that I have described to them....no sweat. But, I have now flushed and bled, and run the beasty a bit...

We talked about this in some other threads. Of course, it was just after I bought the Rover piece and modified it. 1973 Newport Steering Coupler/Rag Joint It looks to be the way to go. A little more money, but you also won't have to modify it.

...doesn't have the machined step to use the 85 seal but the 65 didn't either so 65 seal it is. outer slider piece is 85 and so is the guts . Rag joint is 85 and so is it's hardware. The flange for the end of steering column is 85 . Again leave it to ma Mopar to still be cutting the same...

Thank you @david hill -- wonderful to see the car coming along. For those keeping track of parts, the steering coupler or "rag joint" is now reproduced by Lares (model 220). I had bought 5 of them for my cars last year, and one of them is now in Buttercup. For the suspension parts, we used...
