I second that! Check the steering shaft, very common on the trucks and ramchargers. I believe summit sells a better aftermarket shaft. You can try bone yards, but every one Ive seen in the bone yards were either already nabbed, or just as worn out as the one you are replacing. Good Luck!

I will bet you 20 bucks that if you look at where the steering shaft connects at the steering sector( Gear box) that the rag joint is gone out. What happens is that the grease inside the coupling washes out over time and the little clips inside rust and then break causing the shaft to move all over the place, mopar still makes the kit to rebuild it but when I had my 87 I replaced the whole shaft with a borgeson steering shaft which does away with that rag joint alltogether, it uses a u-joint. One other thing to check is the rubber donut that connects the shaft from the steering to the output shaft at the firewall, you will see it, it looks like a piece of rubber tire that has 4 bolts connecting it together. I hope this gives you a place to start but I am sticking with the rag joint...............Good luck
