Check that hidden joint

[Kudzupatch]

After installing the new steering box, new tires, alignment and having my guy double check the front end for anything I missed I thought I was good to go.

Took some getting used to the quick steering and I tended to over correct and felt like I was weaving from center line to the edge of the road.. pretty much because I was. After a couple of days I got used to it but it seems to drift left and then right then back left. I thought it was me but the more I drove the more I knew something was wrong. I have a slight bit of play still in the steering but I couldn't find it.

Got someone to help me and we starting looking for the play. Couldn't find it till I pulled the that plastic sleeve that covers the steering shaft and rag joint up. I could just see the rag joint and I was amazed at how worn that thing was. That plastic cover hides the joint and out of sight, out of mind.
