Default Steering column uj?

hey all. got a slight problemo[:@]

amongst other things the bottom UJ on my steering column has shafted itself (no pun intended) and the bearings are starting to get really bad! now I happen to work at a chrysler dealership and we only sell the complete lower shaft which sucks! (and it's actually quite expensive!)

Does anyone know of maybe;

A) A method of replacement of the actual UJ itself?
B) A way of repairing the little SOB?

any advice would be greatly appreciaed before I bite the bullet and pay too much money!
