Hey ! I have to replace my steering knuckle. Would it be terrible to get one for 40 shipped used ? Or should I spend the money on new. I know new is always good. However, if this thing is in decent condition it would probably work like a charm. Who wants to talk me out of it ? Also how is the install on this ? Doesn't seem too bad ...

Are you talking about the "coupler shaft" that goes from the steering column to the gear rack?

I am actually unfamiliar with it being called that. I would imagine you are right. It gives my steering wheel some play and under the car i can wiggle the mini u joint.
