Re: Steering coupler or Rag joint
Quote:
I replaced mine last fall
when i ordered the part at first it seemed there was only one used
Dorman 31011
this puts my steering wheel out 180 or upside down
called and ordered the 31015.....wrong size
called dorman was told "they have never heard of this upside down before"
asked at a GM dealer "someone may have changed something"
before i turn my wheel around,is this normal?

Two ways to fix this take the rag joint off as the person flip the rear brace 180 when put it back together, so you can just take apart flip the rear brace. Or just take of the steering wheel re clock it. as I did both as long as you had the wheel gear straight before you start taking it apart & gear box is not to wear out it should be good after.
