I'm hopping that some one can help me out by naming a part I'm looking for. I have hear people calling them a searing rack drive end, it goes in the steering coulomb. It looks like a rubber disk that is bolted to the coulomb on eater side but with the two parts of the coulomb co-liner but bolted at 90 degrees so that there is some flex in the connection.

I've hear them referred to as "rag" joints before.

Like this....?

Thank you, that's the part I'm looking for. Now I just need to find one that fits an escort rack

Isn't it called a steering damper??? The Sierra column has one that fits straight on a mk2 escort rack, if that helps.

I am looking to replace mine with a UJ!

I replaced mine with one of these

FORD ESCORT MK1 MK2 GROUP 4 STEERING COUPLING KNUCKLE UNIVERSAL JOINT MLR.NL

^^^

Just search for ford steering coupling

I am after the same part too !!!but mine is for a sierra rack, would that uj fit the sierra rack?

thanks
