Re: Attempting my first build 72 K5

Question about correct steering coupler...

I ordered a new rag joint from Advanced Auto - Lares part # 201 and it says it's an exact fit. It seems odd to me that the new rag joint has only 11 splines.

I did replace my steering gear box with an AGR and it has the same spline count as my original. It is possible my "original" might have been replaced with a later model but I highly doubt it.

I initially tried to rebuild my old coupler but failed miserably. I bent one of the studs trying to press them in the back of the coupler.

Does anyone know if this seems right?
