Just repalce them every ten years and you'll have nothing to worry
about.

Subject: Replacing steering rubber link with universal joint

Anyone tried replacing the rubber coupling in the steering column with a
splined universal joint? This would eliminate the possibility of losing
the steering (so many listees have reported looking and discovering
their couplings holding by a few strands) and also reduce steering play
hugely.

I am going to (eventually) look into this.
