Default 2005 V u-joints

Okay I just recently had some work done to my 05 V at a local cadillac dealership. When I picked it up they told me that my u-joints needed to be replaced, I have been looking online to price the part, but I can not find a "u-joint" anywhere. What exactly are they talking about and where is the best place online to pick it up? Thanks in advance.

Umm there are no u joints on the v lol. Unless you have an aftermarket driveshaft. You mean ball joints?
Or maybe you really need a new dealership.

Awesome, I hear a "clunk" towards the back of the car whenever I engage and disengage the clutch.

take a look at some other threads with the search function. This ^^ is pretty common on these cars, could be alot of things.. e.g. dual mass flywheel, differential bushing, etc.
