Re: Does the '87 have a rag joint?

Yes, the car uses a rag joint, and it's the same one that most GM cars use from at least the late 1960s on. The rag joint is separate from the steering shaft. It's retained with two bolts to the steering shaft, and a clamp (with through bolt) to the input of the steering gear.

It is located under the large plastic cover.
