Is there a product out there that directly replaces the factor sliding coupler ... I have a manual steering box.. and would like to stay with the manual box... Just would like to get rid of original joint to a more reliable flex joint ... THanks

I never had a problem with any of mine. What specifically is the issue you want to resolve??
It's not a well-engineered solution last I checked, but Borgeson makes some stuff that does some stuff.

I know there are others out there that are not as expensive. This one was 69 bucks a few years back so I dont know what made it almost triple in price.

Yea..ridiculous aint it.
I agree that the factory coupler is fine and you can rebuild it if it's getting sloppy. Cheaply.

Thanks for pointing that out Momoparman. I have been researching steering lately. Should I keep the P/S or not, Different style or not, etc. I read good things about this coupler then you have to point out the price, lol. Good night! Over TWO hundred bucks? I dont think so...

I know I'm right....
Check out Grainger or an industrial parts house. You can find almost anything in that catalog, i cant figure out how Flaming River sells the power to manual adapter for over 20 bucks...
Call Firm Feel for an upgraded OEM style.

You can get that same rebuild kit at RockAuto for a lot less. Right now it's $5.16. Dorman part # 425-253.
