Steering joint help

jak1471 · Sep 1, 2011

Hi all!
Iv got me MOT in a few weeks and the only thing I think it'll fail on is the sloppy steering! Iv traced the play to the joint below. The rubbers split too so defiantly needs replacing. I can't find a part number anywhere and was hoping someone might have it or the name of the joint? Sorry if there's already a post on this... The search thing ain't working for me :/

Cheers
