This is SK-57, for about $75.00, and is well worth it. It is 75 bucks for some steering rods. In N3330H one would also have to replace teh steering rod for an additional $200. The good thing about the new rod and steering ball is that you don't have to take the airplane apart just to adjust the steering.
