I can feel it when im driving sometimes. Its the bottom point where it connects to the shaft. Am i just looking at replacing a single part (where it meets the box, joint perhaps) or do i need a new shaft or box. Thanks guys.
If you've already checked and KNOW it's the joint below the steering box, get the tie rod end that connects to the pitman arm.

Not to mention i need new leafs, shackles, rear main replacment, u-joints, window regulator, all around body bushings and im not even lifted. Its a money pit, and i make 8.50 and hour. i love the thing, and i hope it loves me long enough so i can fix it.

Today i figured out its the rag joint where it meets at the bottom at the box. I can shake it lightly when parked at the bottom rag joint. Would i be better off getting a new rag joint or a new steering shaft? Im guessing the rag joint but on ebay there are some shafts for like 30$ aswell.
