yeah i had to get a new one myself. from the looks of it, it broke in the exact same place mine did. what i did is scrounged one in a junkyard from a ghettoed out rx that still had a picture of the assumed owner in it. then i JB welded all around the nasty weak part. its been workin pretty good for me. do you have to climb in from the pass side to open ure door?

It's pushing in and out because the plastic retainers holding the telescoping column from collapsing is either broken or loose. There is a mod you can do to fix that.. There are a bunch of posts on the rx7club.com forum about how to fix it. Good Luck.
