Re: steering

[Dave Casey <dcasey@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just this past week I replaced my box to column shaft with parts from 
Flaiming River. On the C-body, there's a rubber rag joint at the column and 
then the typical mopar pot coupler at the box. I replaced each with a needle 
bearing u-joint and connected the two joints with a double shaft. The 
steering feels so much better now that the slop from the rubber and pot 
joint have been removed. Also I gained some plug wire clearance at the back, 
and no longer have to have a jumper wire to provide a good ground for the 
horn.
