Thanks! I saw those five at that dealer when I visited my local dealer to see what they could come up with.

As you correctly noted, there's the shaft assy and then there's the 3A525A coupler.

The slop in my steering isn't a safety hazard NOW but I'd like to address the approx. 2" free play in the wheel.

Does anyone know if I can just buy the 3A525A coupler?

I bought one of those HELP! repair kits that looks like a leather disc with some bolts. Anyone use these kits with any success?

I don't have PS. Is there any adjustment on the steering box I can make?
