i swapped mine with a used one a while back. i can tell you this, its no fun to change.
once you have it off do not spin the steering wheel round and round, the clock spring will break.
i also found it easier to drop the sub frame a few inches to get the shaft back on the rack. the inside part of the column is a pain to get back on as well, due to the boot around it, top and bottom side, and getting the shaft back down the tube is no fun either. spreading the ends of the shaft ends helps some.
dorman usually has good parts, so i would have no problem using it.
