I actually stole Sharecropper’s idea when I decided to go with the replacement joint. Not sure which one he went with but I chose the chrome moly steel “racing” joint. Initial impressions are very good. It is a $100 part but there will be no room for slop in the linkage. The little steering coupler has a very high quality needle bearing U-joint in it. One side fits the 30-spline steering box and the other is 1” DD. Should be exactly what I need. Here are some pics.Interested in the steering shaft upgrade, I was thinking of getting a steering shaft from an XJ at a junk yard. What are your thoughts on that vs the new linkage you got? Does this bolt onto your existing steering shaft?
