Front end question , steering arm

Not sure if I'm in the right place but my plow truck found a rock wall hidden in a snow pile.
97 powerstroke350 4WD dana 60 ,the steering arm from power steering to drag link.does not seem to be available from local napa (or any one else) if I'm changing that are there any aftermarket recommendations? Wish I could find ford part number today. Just want heavy duty stuff. Snowing like winter here. Plowing 4 days a week.

A junkyard may be your best bet.

Is this what you're looking for?

I think he's talking about the drag link.

If this is the case then XRF will be the brand you're looking for or a Chevy tie rod conversion. I'm not aware of anything tougher than either of those.
