Unfortunately your good tidings weren't enough, the smallest joints
Fleetpride has are like 2x what's in the steering shaft, I'll be calling
junkyards and then find out what the dealer wants.
I'm not holding out much hope that a boneyard shaft will be in better
shape than mine though. not worth even looking if the joints aren't
perfect and the slip shaft doesn't slip.
