1991 240 lower steering u-joint

I got a little play in my steering on my 91 240 with 145K. I just got the car inspected at my Volvo dealer. They said the u-joint is rusted and needs to be replaced. Which is causing the play in my steering. Can I just get one out of a junked 240 ? If so the u-joint it looks like 2 bolts holding it on . Does it just slide up and out ? Or is it better to buy a new u-joint for replacement .

Thanks

I bought a new one when I replaced one on my 245. I don't remember how much, but I know it wasn't too much. It is fairly straight fwd to install. You will need to spread the old one a little to tap it out & remove, but it is not a difficult repair.
