John I feel your pain.....

The same applies to manual racks as well, I have one that needs new end
bushings.  And to starters, alternators, etc.  Seems the parts sources are
closely guarded secrets.  I and others seem to have recently found parts and
services for rebuilding diesel injection pumps without having to go for a
trade-in rebuilt.  I am rebuilding one now.  Keep plugging away at it,
someone's got to find a source for the steering components.
