Rag Joint/Steering Coupler Replacement 1993 Chevy K1500 By: Everything Home TV 

Excellent video very informative and he gets straight to the point and stays on point no unnecessary chit chat or no fluff thank you

After rebuilding my front-end steering took it in for alignment, only to find out this rag bushing is worn! DANG! Part ordered and was researching when I found yours. This was the most least expensive way to go and easy! Thanks for the video!

Thank You Brian. That was the most straight forward of all the RU-vids and lots of little hints to make it go better. I really appreciate you taking the time to make this.

Lucky I found this one. It’s what I need to do on MY 1993 Chevy!! Far out man!! Thanx for showing me “how to”!!

thanks for the help! just did mine, took bout 30-45 minutes

Straightforward, to the point. A good video.

It was great to see the step by step on removing/ replacing/ reinstalling the steering mech. 5 stars from me.,

Thanks a lot ! This is exactly what my 1993 c1500 needs ! Thank you!

Thank you for this video!!! You’ve made my life easier!

Thanks for posting this video, gonna fix mine now... Awesome thanks

God bless you man.

The steering on my 91 k1500 is really "loose". Not sure if this is all I need or not but probably does need replaced.

fantastic instructions !

I did mine very easy

No auto parts place around here is capable of finding this rag joint. Auto zone came close, by ordering me one for a Ford. Why are auto parts shops hiring kids who can’t help anyone? It’s mind boggling how I went to 8 places, and no one can help me find one. Unreal. That’s what I get for shopping my zip code.

Quick question can I just replace the whole shaft assembly cause I don’t have a grinder I can just go to my local junk yard thank you

Bolts need fresh loctite applied before re assembly

Hello Sir, I know that this video is four years old but can you please tell me where you bought it or which site you went to? Thanks

Great job on your video, can you please give me the information on where you found that rag joined? Thanks

👊 nice work

i noticed my 76 f150 ragjoint is a lil loose, NOT AS LOOSE AS THIS ONE BUT UNDER PRESSURE OF STEERING WITH TRUCK OFF I CAN EASILY FORCE THE RAG-JOINT TO FLEX EITHER WY TO THE MECHANCIAL STOPPERS ON EITHER SIDE So is that worth fixing or wait till it gets much worse?

great video! Question: I've heard from a few people that the bolts that replace the rivets hang up on shaft parts--because they are thicker than the original rivets...did you run into that issue? I've been advised to grind down bolt heads by a 1/16th or so...any issues since install??

Good video, but I would add two things: 1) it will take a hammer to budge both ends of the steering shaft apart. 2) when you put it back together, the steering wheel may be off, even though there is only one assembly position possible (both ends have flat spots that guide the assembly).

all that work just to save a few pennies. why didnt you just get a full shaft replacement? all the ones they make now are quite a bit better than the stock one anyway

I've got the exact same problem with my camaro, and this should straighten my steering wheen when I do this.

Is there a u-joint that could be used to replace that rather than with a rag joint? and if not thanks for letting us know that joint by itself can be found! A lot cheaper that the whole shaft assembly! And some auto parts stores sell a coupling repair kit that just has a new rubber piece, rag if you will, for like 10 bucks! part number 31002

The steering shaft that is inside the steering column is injected with plastic (part of the Energy Absorbing (EA) safety system). This injection is easily damaged by 'impact' or over stress on the steering shaft. The results from damage to the injections (not visible as they are located inside the steering column) weaken that Safety system. Steering column shaft to Lower shaft torque needs to be specified not just hand tightened.

Amazing video thank you ...one question do you happen to have a part number for the new part and where to get it ..my local Auto parts doesn't sell it or so they say ...thank you

Not everyone knows what they are doing so it's really frustrating when you SKIP parts of the video to save time

My rivets aren't coming out...maybe I need a heavier hammer.

It was not in the link on the video at all I watched it three times

Why isn’t my sterling wheel straight after I did this

WHAT PART NUMBER IS THIS? Thanks

So where's the video portion showing how to straighten the steering wheel before tightening ? Thanks.

BASICALLY speaking...😀
