i am looking into the flaming river u-joints for my 72 camaro and i have solid body mounts in the car i read in a few places that this wipes out the steering box easily cause there is no flex so a rag joint should be used..i called borgeson joints and they same thing but i called flaming river and they said itll work with the u-joints
can anyone give me any advice before i spend out the money?

thanks joe

Have you looked into using Borgeson's vibration reducer u-joint?

Stock should have a joint up near your column also. the 2 joints together will give you enough travel to compensate.
