Steering joint

1992 LNT8000. The CV looking joint at the bottom of the steering column has a hard spot in its rotation and is missing the boot. Our vendor (dealer in Portland, OR) told us the part is obsolete and unavailable. Anyone made something else work?

With or without a tilt wheel, with or without a telescopic wheel?

Did the dealer give you the Ford part numbers for these parts?

Fixed position. We don't have the number. It first came in several months ago which is when we checked. The problem became progressively worse during harvest and the customer decided something needs done. We may have a lead on a used one now.

Pic from 1980/89 catalog, same pic in 1990/2001 catalog, but my 1990/01 catalog is on microfiche, why I posted the 1980/89 pic.

FOHZ-3B676-F .. Lower Steering Shaft & Coupler Assy / Obsolete

1990 LN700/800/900 & LNT800/900 from production date 5/1990; Ditto 1991/93.

No Ford dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any. Try Borgeson for a replacement.

We had the same thought. If the used one doesn't work out we may have to fabricate and make one of those units work. Thanks for your time.
