Default Steering shaft coupler

Will a steering shaft coupler from a 98-02 f-body fit on a 97 and before f-body?
I noticed that in a picture of a 97 that the steering shaft coupler had a rag
style joint. I guy emailed me and wanted to know if the one off my 2000
would fit on his 97.

Sucks, doesn't it.

It sucks that the users who were here to help users have been squelched because of the almighty dollar.

I find it disheartening that the same users who bitch about posting non-sponsor links ignore users who have legitimate needs, because they don't need to buy anything.

The end result here will be what CamaroZ28.com, LS1.com and LS2.com suspension sections are now ... a wasteland.

To answer your question ... it will work, but because the steering racks are different, the steering wheel will be clocked about 45* off. The flat on the rack stub is different.
