    I'm pretty sure you can replace the u joints if you get a good parts guy at the dealer he can get you the joints if not pull the shaft and take it to your local napa or car quest if they got anyone old skool or with a brain they can match them up

    There is a bearing just go to the dealer or call them and have them fax a blow up of the colum so you can see what is in there and order it before you tear it down
