Steering socket/coupler MB076639 info


Recommended Posts

So, i've been searching for the steering coupler, aka socket MB076639 for a few days now... I got quoted $74.72 from Tallahassee Mitsu.   Mitsupartsdirect.com quoted me $65.93.... I also tried two local dealers that are usually pretty good to me. One said $96.69, and a closer one said $88.08

 

So, naturally I go for the mitsupartsdirect.com route, and call them up today to order the coupler. I got nothing but bad news, I was re-directed to Tennessee, Georgia, N. Carolina, Florida, Mississippi, Alabama and I forget where else...NO ONE has it, it's been DISCONTINUED by the manufacturer.. Great! ::)  That's just great. So, I call my local place and they say they actually have one in the warehouse, but they also confirm to me that this part has been discontinued...

 

So, people...If you have 5-6 inches of steering wheel play like I do, jump on the boat and try to get one now, cause i'm not sure how many they have left...

 

It makes me think how many more "needed" parts will be discontinued ::)
