Trying to figure out why I have the lower grey coupling that is connecting the box to the other coupling. Don’t think this is stock.

That's a aftermarket adapter used to attach the shorter power steering shaft to a manual steering gear box. So we'll assume this was a power steering build at assembly line. Manual steering gear went in to accommodate the headers.

Thanks. Should there be a roll pin in it? Currently there is not.That's a aftermarket adapter used to attach the shorter power steering shaft to a manual steering gear box. So we'll assume this was a power steering build at assembly line. Manual steering gear went in to accommodate the headers.
Well yeah, But.... Knowing the aftermarket, it may not be made well enough to get pin(s) in. Geometry between master splines, pin relief, and drilled hole has to be perfect. Other members have that same coupling. They might respond to whether they got pins in theirs or not.Thanks. Should there be a roll pin in it? Currently there is not.
Chassis flex and subsequent movement should be inside/absorbed by the box coupling. Pin(s) prevent any linear movement at the splines.
