There is no uni joint replacement for the rag joint.. Nothing that will bolt straight in anyway.
The original rag joint is a piece of crossply tyre but JC's replacements are poly or double thickness poly for BL's.
The idea of the rag joint is to act like a uni but to tear in the event of a major collision so the steering column doesnt shishkebab you.

there's a rag joint eliminator on that page, but as want33s said good idea to keep it in the system for safety reasons. There's also a rag jiint replacement on the same page.
