Its called the steering block, or, the steering knuckle, but, i can tell you from experience, parts are not available for that car, so, the only way to actually fix it is to try and rig one from another vehicle. And, even though there are some sites that say they are Exceed RC, they arent. They are a cheap Chinese off brand throw away. You can sometimes find them new on eBay for less than $60: https://www.ebay.com/itm/162377210765

You could also try jb weld or plastic weld but imo best way would be to remove screw. Put a glob on let it cure dremel and drill and retap. Might want to include an aluminum or brass reinforcement. Also a small piece of carbom fiber could stregthen. Just dont try to superglue it will probably lock yp steering. I found trying to swap other brands you end up replacing much more than just the broken piece. Good luck man. The garage has openned lol

Maybe you can get someone that prints nylon to print one up for you? Or if you know anyone with a CNC machine to fab one for you out of aluminum? Might be more than buying one but if you make a few you will have extras.
