Have you checked like an OReilly , Autozone, or Napa?

Wonder how hard one is to replace?

rockauto.com its like $60 bucks.

Bingo! Rock Auto, I get the majority of my parts there, as they have the best prices, and quick, cheap shipping. Never gotten a bad part from that site.

not gonna lie, it kinda sucks to replace one.

stupid sleeve/boot that surrounds the shaft is a pita. At least its master splined

 

[Scottydoggs]

the boots are nothing, its getting it back on the rack and column that sucks.

its the boot that makes getting it back on difficult imo. "A" bodies or k or c trucks have no boot and its a 20min job.

scotty its not that hard gezz its just a bit small in some places lol. its not that hard once you get your column out. just 1 big hammer to bang one end on the column then fit it on the boot then bolt it in its really took me 2 hrs to do. and it took that long because I was doing my laundry lol.

the one i put one fought me tooth and nail on the column side, the rack side went right on. cut my finger on something real sharp on the column side too. whole job just pissed me off from the get go. i spent a easy 2 hours on it.
