I have heard of this too and you may find a post awhile back from me about it. I spent awhile last spring hunting down parts to fix the steering on my 330U and wound up buying a whole salvage steering assembly. I could not reliably locate the shaft I needed. My understanding is that there are two versions with a different number of teeth. Obviously tooth count needs to match in order to repair and I couldn't get satisfactory answers from folks selling them. It's a very pricey part if it can be found but I wasn't going to hand over ~600 bucks for somethig that may not fit for sure. Another 100 bucks and I had a whole steering assembly so that's how I went.
I've gone and broke it again. I do not plan to fix it this time, I should have done this in the first place instead of wasting the 700 bucks on the assembly but now I will. I plan to get a Jackson Power Steering unit and be done with it.

I have heard tht a machine shop in Kentucky will build up the gears and recut them. I would like to know the name of the shop and it's address and phone number if anyone has that info. Also isthere any other source for parts to rebuild the box.

It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
