Default steering shaft

Had some play in the steering and traced it to the u-joint on the steering intermediae shaft. I've read the posts about the steerig gear slop and I've seen the TSB's regardng the upper intermediate shaft regrease kit or replacement,
Anyone replace these u-joints or are they even replaceable?
My H2 has a little over 100,000 miles on it, but I've only has it for about 8 months. Sold H3 and bought my H2. (super-sized my order) The rest of the front end seems really tight.
Thanks in advance for the help.

The grease kit is a waste of time. GM has an updated shaft and it's easy to replace. I installed one in my 03 H2 in about 30 min.

Does this new style shaft go all the to the steering gear, including the yoke? The TSB's indicate that it's only the upper intermediate shaft. I saw that Flaming River has a awesome looking shaft but it's $430
What the price of GM's steering shaft?

It's been a few years since I did mine, I dont think it was very much and it sure fixed the knocking noise I had in the steering.
