Most auto parts stores should carry a generic version aka (help) that will work. If you do a search here for rag joint I think someone posted part numbers.
Hey 78pintodadscar:
I got mine at Oreilly Auto, here is the link:

Ok thanks for the link i bought the part. For a back yard mechanic how long do you estimate this to take. and on a scale for 1-10 how hard is it?
If you have the headers I do, about a 20. :lol: . Really, it shouldn't be too bad, you might need some u-joint ratchets though to get in there. Also try turning the wheel to get better angles.
The first time I did one took me a couple hours. I found it easier to remove it with the column and then fix the bushing. The second time took me about 30 min, it went real quick. Both cars were 4 cylinders. I imagine V6 cars would be about the same.
