Steering Coupler (Rag Joint) 1963 Cadillac with Tilt Wheel

[Jim Pino]

Hi all,
I am in the process of replacing my steering gear box. Upon removal I notice that the rag joint is showing some stress, my car has tilt wheel. My question is, are the rag joints common between tilt and non-tilt cars or are they different? So before I start researching for a replacement part I want to be sure I get the correct one. Thanks everyone.

Jim

According  to the info in Tilt Steering Conversion under HELP Topics, they are different. I don't know the difference, mines non-tilt. HTH

Hi Jim, Tilt is smaller diameter on the column side. I have very nice, used non-tilt rag joints with excellent masticated rubber, ground wire etc. for $35 + s/h.  If you need tilt I would need to double check. Email at [e-mail] if interested and provide a shipping address.

Hi Jason thanks for the quick response. I figured there had to be some difference. My car has tilt, if you get the chance to see if you have one I would appreciate it. Jim

I checked and I am out of the tilt rag joint. If Russ or one of the others don't have one, give me a shout at [e-mail] and I will put you on the Wait List for one.
