I keep killing the mopar steering coupler. im now to number 4 in 10k. dunno why, but it is. I read a few years ago that borgeson or someonw was making a u-joint replacement for these. anyone still make them? any reason not t use them?

No, the coupler isn't there to provide a collapsible feature, that is built inside the column. The coupler is there mostly for NVH and allow for minor flexing between the gear and the column. They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

It also provides some road feel dampening.
