The u-joints are not easily replaceable. Madzatrix has new drive shafts with u-joints for 350$ plus depending on year and model. I took mine to a local machine shop and they cut and rewelded new yokes so I can replace the u-joints. Cost was 180$ including new u-joints and balancing.

There is a thread in the archive about replacing the u-joints.

Here's a link to Rockford. Turbo joints are part number 430-11. Normally aspirated is 430-10A. They run about $25 each. Rockford doesn't respond well to email, but if you call them, they're pretty helpful.

I just had my drive shaft extended (I put a manual in an auto) I went to Rockford Drive Shaft and they said the Ujoints were out dated and couldn't be replaced.

If you can get the new u-joint, they can be replaced.

If Rockford doesn't have it, try Neapco.
