Steering shaft U-Joint

Does any one know if the U-joint on the bottom of the steering shaft, where it is splined onto the steering gear box is available seperately. Or if it will require the whole steering shaft to be replaced, none of the local parts stores even show a listing for it.

i just looked on Alldata and dealer only lists the whole steering shaft for $220 so i think used is the best option.

I've never heard of the u-joints being available separately. I've always replaced the entire shaft. Borgeson makes a good lifetime warranty unit, available through Summit Racing and other suppliers.

I came to find out that anyone around the Kalamazoo Michigan area should try Sweet Manufacturing. They build race cars and race car components, and they have the u-joints available separately at a very reasonably price.
