arctic cat steering issues?

[broken_line]

i was riding around this morning when all of a sudden my handle bars feel loose and the skis dont turn.. the piece that the steering colum is hooked to between the tie rods broke. can i aluma weld it or is it made of steel?

put a magnet to it, sticks its metal, doesnt stick its alum, too heavy to be alum and magnet doesnt stick its stainless steel.

ADD: oh except if its 400 series stainless steel then its magnetic but.... i wouldnt worry about it, 9 chances out of 10 its alum since i have 2 cats and i think they are alum, wouldnt know unless i went out and looked
