What is a......

What's a centerlink? I'm not familiar with this type of steering setup. I went to a mechanic and he told me, along with a list of other things, that I need to replace the centerlink.

I've got the W-124 repair CD I just have no idea where to look. Any help would be appreciated.

You can find more info by doing a net search, or on about.com.
