Steering shafts, and slop....

Well, we have all experienced the sloppy steering thing resulting from the rag joint going bad.

There are available from the aftermarket, replacement intermediate shafts with U-Joints on each end, instead of the cheap setup the factory puts on there, for truck applications. Does anyone know of something like that for the F-Bodys?????

if you have some basic fabrication and machining skills it wouldn't be too hard to make one and adopt it to the f body or changing one of the aftermarket ones made for race cars w/rack and pinion.
