    Talking about the universal joint at the base of the steering column just behind the little black plastic cover, mine is really bad, nearly seized. Tried freeing it up but it isn’t much better. Are these still available?

    Unfortunately not. It is part number 731151051 but it has been discontinued both in Japan and the US. I actually ended up getting the last one in the US a few years ago.

    Well that sucks. I will Google the part number and see what I can find. At least that is a start.

    I've carefully taken, universal joints apart, and re-lubed them with a heavy duty bearing grease! It takes a little bit of patience, and some penetrating oil,(naturally), but it was worth it to me!

    It is ok for now, but if it gets bad that will be my option at this point.
