I found that my steering rag joint was bad so instead of spending $50 or so for a new joint I just bought a rebuild kit for mine and it only cost $7.69 and took about 20min to rebuild. Just grind off the head of the two rivits and pundh them out (very easy) then you will need to put it in a vise so you can get the lock washer and nut on. Then just put it back in. The kit had a standard size post and a larger one that I can only think helps take out some of the slop in the coupler. It fit fine and works great.
