Vannin' Home Forums Ford General Discussion 87 E250 Rag Joint/Steering Coupler

So in an effort to tighten up the front end of the van Ive had the ENTIRE thing gone through. While this solved a majority of the steering play, it still has more then I would like in a truck running 33s at 65.

Most of the play is in the rag joint, and while my shop "rebuilt" it a month or so ago with a universal kit and some of the parts n the old one, it still has a fair amount of play. They said it would be too hard to get the actual Ford part in the time frame i needed it. Now Im fed up and I just want a 100% new one.

Is there a parts supplier that carries the specific rag joint (the whole assembly) for my van? Is there a link? I need a direction to look in, my past searches have turned up nothing. I couldn't find one from LMC but maybe I was looking in the wrong place.

I had my Steering box checked and its in pretty good shape, and I run a Gabriel stabilizer. I can defiantly see that 90% of the remaining play is in the cobbed together rag joint.
