Default U-joint & Coupler

I need a new u-joint and coupler for my steering. I can't seem to find anyone that carries these parts...

Is the steering the same on V6 camaros and firebirds? How about 98+ cars?

It was a bitch to install, but well worth the $45. Everything went wrong that you could think of, lol. Almost 0 slop now, probably back to the way it came from factory.

you can use a dremel with a cutoff disc. i went through about 10 discs to cut the 4 rivets out. it was a PITA but it worked.
