[Joe34]

Need to find a lower steering shaft for my 1996 Explorer part # F77Z3B676EA Junk yards do not have any usable ones. Does anyone know where I can purchase one?

This is the route I'm thinking of going. Should last longer than the truck. http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=347868
