I finally got to put it on after getting it from a member on this board, I just took my grinder with a cut off disc on there and cut right into the rubber and through the rivets, then tapped them out with a punch and hammer, only took about 30 min to do

 

Well... how is it? Does the steering feel any different? Was the purchase worth it? Alittle more info would be nice!

 

Looks good

 

yeah it looks good, but how does it perform dude?

 

Any unwanted vibrations?

 

I never noticed a difference when I installed mine.

 

theres not engine in the car so I cant road test it, but it did take the extra play that Ihad in my steering out of there.

 

I couldn't detect any new vibrations when I did mine

 

Just bought one. let you know how the install goes.

 

I installed one last year. Didnt notice any vibrations. Its worth it to do on a high milage car. I only have 48K on mine, did it while installing Kooks long tubes.

Just a word of advise, when tapping out those rivets be sure that you don't collapse or expand the upper part of the steering joint If you do be sure to tap it back to normal length. Just did this on my car and the steering rack, all the play i had in the wheel is gone now!

great upgrade!! huge difference.

 

Do you know the dimensions of your rag joint eliminator? I was hoping to make my own. I've got access to a shop at school which has a mill and plenty of aluminum stock.

 

I dont know mine. But it was identicle to the old stock rubber piece.

 

Ok thanks
