Hi, newbie here so sorry if this has been covered already, I did a search but came up with nothing relevant.
My Dad has owned his J reg 960 from new, and at 87 he'd like to keep it running rather than buy another car. But,
MOT advisory for a worn steering column joint.
So the car has an MOT for now, but his garage tell him there's no way it's getting another without a new joint in the column, but they can't find one.
Are they available anywhere ? I've looked online but can't find one. Is there anywhere that could refurbish the old one ?
I realise that he might not be driving when the next MOT rolls around, but the car needs other work, rear shocks, suspension bushes, and the lacquer is starting to peel.
He's always kept it pristine and wants to have the work done, but he'd be laying out around £2k and doesn't want to do that if he can't get the column joint replaced.
Any helpful suggestions gratefully received. TIA

 

I recently was looking for steering joints for a 57 Chevy pickup and saw CARiD.com had joints
listed for some models of Volvo's.
