Technical Steering column coupler problem

I have a street rod equipped with a GM steering coupler that the rubber seal/cup is missing. This exposes the joint to dirt and water. I have found what looks like the seal on line. It sets at a 30 degree angle which I suspect is to great of an angle. I also suspect this is why the seal is gone. Should I replace the seal or purchase a after market coupler?

 

After market coupler

 

Pretty sure those stock joints weren't made for 30 degrees. I'd replace it with a new Borgeson joint.

 

An idea that may work for you.
Om a jeep Cherokee,the Los square one. Not a grand Cherokee. The splines are the same as a gm on both ends. It's adjustable to length,and takes all the slop out of the collumn.
Check out a G body forum and learn all about them

 

Thanks

 

I think the angle caused the seal to split and this is the root to my problem. The Borgeson is a lot nicer looking. Thanks

 

Borgison

 

I think I will replace it with a Borgisom joint. Thanks

 

I like the Borgeson combination universal and steering dampener coupler.

 

OK Here I go on another adventure. Change one thing change everything
