I searched for possible answers to this but couldn't seem to find anything.
Does anyone know if the ground wire on the rag joint for power steering on a 70 cutlass is needed. I got a new one from year one and it doesn't have one so wasn't sure if its because its aftermarket or not.
Thanks in advance !

 

The horn button grounds through the steering shaft, so yes, the wire is needed to ensure that circuit is completed. Without it the rag joint is a pretty good insulator.

 

thanks Joe your the best and the legend continues..............
