    Thanks for the link . That tiny universal joint will cost me $129 by the time I see it at my door with the shipping and import fees
    I need a seized up steering shaft from one of you guys

    Screw it .
    Just purchased a new steering shaft from Amazon Canada .

    https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B08HJTFYX2?ie=UTF8

    Also finally found the universal joint I will be installing in my original shaft .

    https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01AXTEQNO?ie=UTF8



    Here is a good you tube video showing a remove and replace of the lower shaft .
    I noticed he took the time to unbolt the rack . Possibly took too much apart but made the job easier. He used a bunjee cord to hold the steering . Didnt say anything bout removing the battery post to avoid setting off the air bag or causing damage to the clock spring .

    Here is a half decent walk through of what to look for when your upper steering shaft goes out

    I rebuilt my lower shaft with the all balls u joint.

    It lasted all of 3k miles before getting slop in it.

    Possibly I got a lemon, but I can’t recommend it.

    Hey guys, I can confirm that a 1998 5lug Tacoma uses the same u joint. Had sussesion but the only modification you need to do is grind the inner side of the yoke to allow the circlip to fit flush. But other than that,
