If your OBS Ford truck wanders all over the road or the steering feels loose, don't just assume it's the steering box or tie rod ends.
The steering shaft is one of the most overlooked and common sources of play on these trucks.
It takes about 30 seconds to check. If the rag joint is shot, the slip shaft has play, or both, you've probably found the culprit.
Borgeson builds an awesome replacement that ditches the factory rag joint in favor of billet universal joints and a precision slip shaft. We keep them in stock for all 1980-97 F-Series trucks and Broncos, so you can get it fixed, back on the road, and enjoy driving your truck again.
Thanks for the killer photo and support, Salvador
