Hi. So you bought the steering bracket assembly....then removed the rod inside of it and put it in your original column already there???Had this happen in 2007, I have an '00 LX. I replaced only the shaft, but had to buy the housing and the shaft. It was about $200 at a dealer. The bastard at the counter laughed when he saw the broken part. He said it's a common thing and they keep them in stock for that reason.
It was a b'tch to replace the shaft only, but I think it's still easier that swapping in the bracket. I think there should be a recall based on this things breaking.
P.S. some bitch edited the bitch out of my bitching sentence, so I said bitch, I have to edit it.
