Yep, broke it on the first trip after the body lift (the joint obviously didn't slide well on the shaft when I did the lift). Booty fab at the time was some fencing wire wrapped tight around the joint, but I picked a replacement up at the wreckers fairly quickly. It was a wrecker in Bennetts Green for about $30 I think.

Well got the new 2nd hand bit from Halls wreckers Bayswater Vic. For $10, and it is now fitted. Just have to go pick up the new power steering hose, whack it on and then all should be sweet.
Will post a pick of the buggered one later when I work out where I left my camera.
