ME, BEING A DIYer TOO----AND ONLY HAVING DEALT WITH REPAIRING THIS ISSUE ONLY A FEW TIMES (LIKE 4 REPLACEMENTS I HAVE DONE MYSELF ON FORDS) I HAD TOTALLY FORGOTTEN IT WAS "SLANGED" A "RAG JOINT"
THE OLE CJs DON'T WORK LIKE THAT, BUT THEY DO HAVE THEIR OWN PROBLEMS WITH FACTORY STEERING SHAFTS AND SUCH. THE FORDS ARE PROBABLY EZer TO REPAIR, BUT ALSO PROBABLY DETERIORATE FASTER AND "MORE SUDDENLY" BECOME DANGEROUS IF NOT ADDRESSED QUICKLY
THE ONES I REPLACED, I OBTAINED AT THE LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE FOR LESS THAN $20, AND WERE FOUND IN THE "HELP" SECTION OR AISLE IN THE STORE---I DO REMEMBER THERE ARE DIFFERENT STYLES OF THE COUPLER, DEPENDING ON APPLICATION.
I ALSO HAD THE ADVANTAGE THAT THE ISSUE WAS CAUGHT BEFORE IT WAS TOO BAD OFF, AND I HAD MOST OF WHAT WAS LEFT OF THE OLD ONES TO COMPARE TO
I FEEL SURE IT COULD BE RESEARCHED AT THE AUTO PARTS STORE AS TO WHICH ONE IS FOR YOU
KEEP US POSTED ON PROGRESS
