PN: Steering intermediate shaft

This is the part that has rubber splines on the bottom that wear out. Many people weld this into the U joint below to cleam up the MKI steering play. What is the part # if I wanted to just replace it with a stock part ?

Is the play in the splines?

My experience with the shaft is that the play is where it joins the steering column, not the splined end. The shaft is flat on 2 sides and a little wear on those edges where it enters the column results in the looseness. You can access it from inside the car to see if this is right.

I made 2 aluminum "splints" that I ran from the column to the shaft flat areas, and then attached with 2 hose clamps. It works very well.

I believe the purpose of the shaft is to allow in/out play as the suspension goes over bumps. I'm not sure if welding is a great idea.

Hope this helps
