Steering shaft coupler

[Dre]

Anyone had any luck locating a replacement for steering coupler (AKA rag joint)? Dorman part that I got doesn't work. Need steering coupler that looks like the one in the photo.

to add, patient is a 1992 Explorer Sport

I just searched quick, and found this and a similar thread. Several people just pulled a 'new' shaft from the junkyard, one guy at the end of this link used parts store parts: http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/index.php?threads/bad-rag-joint-92-xlt.216319/

I've seen this post and besides pointing me to the junk yard it does not really specify if the part being offered for the F-150 works on the Explorer. I did a bit of a research and found out in the description that Explorer 1st gen is on the list of potential patients - will give it a try.

thanks,
