68 Charger steering issue

knightmotorsports said

There is definitely play where the steering shaft goes into the coupler. I removed the steering column and the coupler fell off the end. I'm guessing the rectangular parts were turned wrong. When I turned them the other other way. I would almost have to tap the coupler back on with a hammer.

My son has an 85 Dodge Ram truck with lots of miles on it. He had tons of play and found that the coupler was the culprit. He bought a kit to replace the parts and when he took the old parts out he could see the wear. The new parts fixed the issue. If/when you replace the parts, be sure to pack it with good grease and be sure that end piece fits snugly. The picture you showed has it hanging off.
