The joint includes a male coupler with a first extent slidably received in the second component and a second extent formed with male coupling threads. Female carrier threads are provided on the male coupler. The joint also includes a female coupler slidably received in the first component. The female coupler has female carrier threads. The female coupler has female coupling threads adapted to removably couple with the male coupling threads of the male coupler. Tubular carriers have ends. Carrier threads are removably received in the carrier threads of the couplers. An elastic member has a central region located within the threads of the couplers and extending through the upper and lower carriers.
