Fit my 1986 Ford F-150 5.0 4x4 XLT Lariat

So this is an initial review for anyone with an old truck like mine. I struggled to find an option of reasonable price to fix my ford steering issue. It has a one piece riveted lower steering shaft rag joint assembly. With some work and modification i was able to make this work like a charm. I had to cut and drill the rivets. I took the shaft apart and was able to use this to reassemble and replace my rag joint. Worked like a charm. You will have to buy different bolts. I went with 5/16" x 2 inch to make sure i had plenty of length. I also used lock washers as a temporary fix until i can get to a hardware store that isnt out of nylon lock nuts. The holes lined up perfect and everything else fit as it should. It was a bit of work without a drill press but with a dremel tool and hand drill with a metal bit i made it work. I will add to this review to update how well it held up. I just didn't want to fork out over $200 for a truck i paid $500 for to get an updated steering shaft. I am a happy camper to have a $10 fix for a discontinued part.

67 bug

Used this in my 67 VW Bug. I was replacing the broken red polyurethane one that crumbled while I was driving the car. It was a struggle to get this in but the product seems sturdy and is holding up so far. I would recommend this product.

Worked perfect on a 2002 S10 ZR2

Worked perfect on a 2002 S10 ZR2, took out the slop in the steering shaft. I did buy nuts and bolts and locking washers to make the whole job as sturdy and permanent as possible. Yo don't have to, but I'm OCD when it comes to stuff like that.

Fixed our 1999 S10

Works well on our 1999 S10. Had a lot of slop in the wheel and this was the fix. You’ll need to go to the store and buy 5/16-24 nuts, bolts and washers for this kit. The ones that come with it are weird and will interfere. No idea how they decided to put them in the kit. Anyway, if you have an S10 with sloppy steering, this may be the ticket.
