Steering shaft u-joint

[jsinga]

I found the u-joint down on the coupler at the rack is worn and causing about 1/4inch play in the steering on my road weary 87.
I can't make out from the picture in the shop manual exactly what to call it.
The thing looks like it is staked in. Anyone with experince with this stuff?
Thanks for any info!

At 200k she's not road weary, she just needs a cold one
I'll take a look at my manuals tonight on the 85. Should be the same and post anything I come up with.
I'm sure many will chime in.
