On my old dodge, follow the steering column as it exits the firewall, there is a knuckle, this was stripped out and the parts store had one in stock. Had to anticipate a turn and start cranking the wheel before I got to it. Drove slow until I got home.

This is my best bet. This knuckle was used throughout the Dodge truck and car lineup into the nineties and is readily available. It's a terrible part that wears out quickly but at least it's easy to repair. Some times its housing is worn as well as the inside parts - the housing is the most expensive part and I think I paid $50 for it last time.
