So is it a bearing puller.
There are 2 places ive found them ISP West in the US & T3D in the uk. I think im only looking at getting the bearing. make sure you stat either top or bottom as they are different sizes.
Why do yo think you need a new 1 what happens.
mine has a really bad wobble in the stearing wheel when i go over bump
i jacked it up and the pasenger side was all spongy when you turned it quickley.
Hope this make sence.

have you tightened the sway bar / torsion bar up

pretty sure theres a bolt on the pas side between the arms it needs to betight
check on the drive side if not on pass side

was the first thing i did and no change unfortunatly.
after it being lowered 3 outer spline for a few years now im sure that that would take its toll on the old bearings.

R/H/S dave,they used to have a lock tab but most of these are gone now.loosen the lock bolt on the bar,and tighten the adjustment bolt,lock the lock bolt again.(been a lot of years since this was a daily chore)
