I don't get it. Why would you need this big mass of rag joint when you can just go straight to the box, and have nothing that will go bad?

I am tempted to do the same repair you did though. Only thing is, I really don't have any way of knowing if mine is even bad. I do have excess steering play, but that doesn't mean its for sure the rag joint. To clarify, you did say that the entire job only took you 30 minutes, right?
