Anybody know if there is a "rag joint eliminator" kit for the 1st gen F-bodies?

Thanks,
Dave

Talk to the folks at Borgeson. This is what I'm going to use:

I used a standard Borgeson U-joint. Here's a pic:

Is it a meaningful upgrade? I have a new rag joint and can see a little flex when the steering wheel is turned. Everything else is tight and I also have a DSE steering box. But, what is the realworld improvement? Looking for winter projects!

I do not like using a solid Borg joint. Borgenson makes a "vibration joint" that has some hard rubber in it to aborsb some shock / kickback. It gives a more positive feel then a rag joint, but not to rigid like a solid joint

Hey guys, only reason I did this was for header clearance. The vibration reducers were too long and would not fit.
