Want to replace steering shaft

[will (Renthorin)]

I'm in the process of cleaning up my engine bay and I noticed the little rubber boot on the steering knuckle thingy is leaking oily goo.

I would like to replace the steering shaft but I'm not sure what it's called or where to get one.

Any advice?

Installed an aftermarket stock replacement. Not very good. It clicks when it turns because it's sloppy where it telescopes.

Installed the Hooker steering shaft and that's a nice piece. Much better, smooth & tight.

My shaft has never felt better
