Default Is this rag joint useable?


Steering box shipped USPS with a hole in the box as the rag joint coupler post punctured the box. Looks too bent to use. Is it safe to use if bent back?

Bend it back.

If no cracking is present it's useable.

looks like it's been replaced once already. Those kits are not to expensive so its up to you. I would use a nylock nut along with the lock washer and sleep well.
