I have a 1993 2wd with the 5.2 V8. Looking for some help in finding either a rebuild kit or i place to buy the lower steering shaft. This picture is from another thread on the forum. It shows the parts I need

 

I called 43 boneyards before finally finding the correct lower coupler for the steering shaft. No, I'm not exaggerating. There are four features that must be met to find the correct lower coupler.

Column Shift (yes/no)
Power Steering (yes/no)
4WD or 2WD
Tilt Steering Wheel (yes/no)

If you really need the different part numbers I can dig it up for you but I'd rather not. Boneyards didn't care about this part#. The upper part number, I believe, is the same for any configuration. If you don't want to waste your time, the part you get must meet all four criteria I listed above. Anyhow, I have a 1993 Dodge Dakota LE, 2WD, Tilt Steering Wheel, with column shift. I went to https://www.car-part.com/ and looked at all the pictures of '92 and '93 Dakotas and immediately eliminated any of them that showed manual trans or 4x4. If I couldn't eliminate them, I called to see if it met my criteria. 43 calls later, I finally found one. It was in Bumville, U-freaking-tah. With what I have told you so far I probably shortened your search. I had to live and learn the hard way so it took longer. So get yourself a note pad, pencil, some popcorn and a sandwich or two and sit at your desk and let your fingers do the walking. Oh, just buy the whole steering shaft...upper and lower coupler together. That's how they're gonna tear it out of the truck anyway. And get the roll pins that go with it. Best to you.
