    Default Rag joint replacement finished.

    I got my rag joint replaced today on my 1996 Z28 using Unbalanced Engineering's kit. All in all, it went pretty well, the steering shaft came out in about 15 minutes without even getting under the car. The only issue was that two of the rivets in the rag joint didn't want to come out and a buddy had to do some grinding and heating to get them out. The end result looks good and as soon as we get a warm day, I'll see how it drives. Also, I have Hooker long tube headers and it went right in, the bolts aren't making contact with the headers like I've seen in some reviews before.

    After
    Black 1996 Z28, 32K miles, 6 spd, AI 224/226 cam, Comp valve train, long tubes, ORYP, GMMG. All polished with Enkei WIN wheels.

    It feels sold as can be, I'm very pleased with it.
