What an awesome junkyard!!! (Stuff FS)

[optimus234 at hotmail.com (Kevin S)]

Could you get me a power steering shaft? Its the peice that connects the 
steering column to the steering rack, for a car with powersteering. I took a 
look at 3 junkyards today and none of them have a car with power steering.
