I was told by my engine builder that when I make my custom shaft for my SE turbo conversion that the yoke and diff flange are common Dodge parts. So my new shaft will be rebuildable. I will find out exactly what model parts when I get my motor next week and get the measurements to the driveline shop.

mazdatrix sells oem driveshafts with the non-replacable u-joints as well as an aftermarket driveshaft which is cheaper and has replaceable u-joints.

driveshaft issues

I had my driveshaft machined to fit the circlip type u-joints for 75 bucks at a driveline shop,you might consider that before buying a whole new driveshaft.
