Default 1991 W150 Steering sloppy

1991 W150 v6 power steering:

My question is, the steering is very "loose", I turn the wheel and it takes a more motion than it should. I looked at the rag joint, it is fine, I looked down by the steering gear, and where the shaft goes into the gear box is some kind of coupler. It is very worn. I can turn the steering shaft by hand and there is a lot of play in that coupler. My question is, can I rebuild this coupler? What is the proper name for it so I can get another one, or rebuild this one?

Here they are. Kit and slip joint.
424-252 for joint
424-253 for kit
I needed both the last time I did mine.

Oops! Didn't see the number you posted, Wolfie.
