What is it called?
I'd like to see if autozone can get me a new flex coupling that connects the steering column to the steering gear.
The problem is, it isn't listed as a flex coupling in their computer so they can't find it.
:-X11
I don't know if they have it or not, but it's worth a try since I feel that the $75
DC wants for one is a little on the pricey side.
Any suggestions as to what I can get him to look up?

Stock Manifolds to twin 3" V-Force Mufflers exiting behind wheels.
and more to come.

I just replaced mine.
You will find the joint on the red "help" section that they have there. Cost was $8 and an hours worth of time. The dealer wanted $89 for the complete unit
God I love doing things myself
