My 86 El Camino came from the factory with a "rag" joint for the steering shaft. It works OK for the first 20 years or 200,000 miles then starts to look rather scary. I replaced it with a shaft and coupler that is a u-joint from some other vehicle that I don't remember. I learned about the fix from the El Camino forum. The old joint still worked but it was pretty sloppy. New setup is way better.

I decided steering was kinda important, almost like brakes, vital.
