jimzstang Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Hey again everyone!Looking to get my 97 gt's steering CLUNK taken care of...I've been told that it's the RAG joint, or the lower steering shaft. Does anyone have a link, pics, part numbers or anything that'd help this mini project out?Thanks in advance once again!Sent from my S959G using a dead battery.

Det_Riot Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 When my steering got real sloppy last year, I was under full assumption that it was the rag joint. I could hold the wheel straight, and bounce it side to side about 10* either way without the wheels moving. Once I finally got the time to look underneath with someone else at the wheel, I found out my slip joint was blown out and that's where all my slop was coming from. Not that this helps you with parts if you've narrowed it down to the rag joint but if you haven't, it's another thing to look into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimzstang Posted May 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 So I was under the Stang... Rag joint looks solid, feels solid...The joint above it feels solid too...Where the shaft comes through the firewall is sloppy. Should there be mounting bolts holding it secure?Sent from the death star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Det_Riot Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 That could be best case scenRio if you're just missing bolts!Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimzstang Posted May 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 I'm hoping that's the case... I'm just wondering why they'd be missing in the first place hahaSent from my noggin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
