Hello, I wonder if we are comparing two different things: Using the ETKA completely loaded on my hard drive, I see a U Joint for Power steering as part # 281 422 417 which sells for $199.95 on BD website. I'll guess this is what you purchased Frank? On the other hand, I see steering coupling, part 251 419 417 selling for $14.95 on BD website, possibly what Larry referred to. Sounds like Keith may need the universal? Cheers. Jim 91 Syncro NM Alamogordo NM
