Rag Joint???

If I am correct, it is the joint from the steering column to the rack and pinion.

Please expand... I hope I am correct.

I have an extra 72 runabout that might have a good one.

Are you looking for the complete rag joint assy or the bushing itself?  If just the bushing, then as Farmboys said, you should be able to pick one up at any parts store.  The rag joint you will most likely need used.  Please post year and if PS or Manual as they are different ones.

I just replaced the one in my 77 C/W a month ago and got it at a Advance auto parts. Any parts store should carry it. You just need to know what diameter.

Autozone had a couple of them. You can get either the universal kit or they have them for late model Fords. I found mine on the shelf at Advanced Auto Parts for 7.oo each. I got both the universal kit and late model Ford one just to be save but both will work. You might have to go and actualy ask someone because I had issues when I tried calling
