This question is in reference to my 2000 F-150. At the bottom of the lower steering shaft there is a universal before the steering gear box. When you order a new lower shaft is that universal included?

 

I will answer my own question. I finally talked to a parts guy from ford who assures me that when you purchase a lower shaft from ford that you get everything from the firewall to the steering gear box. Hope he's right. I have one ordered.
