Hi, quite a while ago I purchased a jeed shaft from a member on here.
Both U joints have play now. Can I purchase these U joints new or do need to purchase another shaft?
I've got the same story. What I found on the Jeep forums is that you "can" replace them but it's a safety concern as well as a hassle so they just buy a new unit from Crown. Part # 52079050:
it's a nice looking piece but i don't care for the make up of it where it has a series of set screws that could back off at some point.if you're looking to switch from the jeep shaft check out the astro van shafts.they don't have the rubber isolator or anything like the jeep version does.
The Hooker Blackheart shaft looks very similar to the Borgeson steering shafts I made for both of my cars, set screws are not an issue I have had my Monte's on there for 15 years and my Regal has had that one for about 5 years.

My Borgeson was a universal fit that I had to cut to length but the Hooker Blackheart looks like a basic R & R swap.
No one had pre made steering shafts for Gbody's when I made my Monte's and since it had already proven itself I bought the Borgeson shaft set up and their quick ratio gearbox when I built my Regal.
The length of the Blackheart should be preset, on mine it's easy to collapse the shaft to install it and slide it on to the end of the gearbox.
