Not a trick! And not an MR2 or Yaris part.
It's worn out and we're trying to track down a new one!

unfortunatly access denied to that as well

you can load the image p to the passionford server as well, but i tried to access that to load a pic up and i wasn't allowed to do that either so i'll just have to wait until i get home to have a butchers

it may just be a universal joint as favoured by some of the kit car peeps, might be worth finding a kit car forum and stickig it up there as well

that looks like a standard steering track rod end

anyone should be able to source that as you only need to find another one with that length

i thoguht you meant a joint in the indermidiate shaft, that might have ben much more difficult to locate
