Bent Steering rod

I was wondering how much it would cost me to buy a new steering rod on my 89 f350? It still drives and everything else seems fine but the steering wheel is upside down when i go straight
thanks

What are you working on? Most of the time a steering is upside down it's from hitting something.If you hit something hard enough,you might have twisted the sector shaft in the box.Which will also throw off the turning radius.

Ya i noticed today that i can make a sharper left hand turn then i can right. I gut the truck stuck a few days ago and u turn the wheel hard 2 see if u could get the front wheel unstuck instead the rod just bend a little then the wheel started 2 turn. But i checked the steering column and it seemed pretty tight.
