Does any parts store carry the rag joint.
 

I am having th ehardest time locating just the rag joint. I don't want to spend the money on an eliminator yet but I can't find this part at all.

Did you try to get the part from a GM parts department?

I just replaced it. I got it from a dealer.

I've seen it at NAPA. It's generic, so you might have to get the hardware.

Here in Texas O'reillys has the rag joint in the "help section of the store" the items in the red packages.

From what i've heard the dealer only sells the complete shaft.
Do you have the part number for just the rag joint minus the shaft. Hopefully cheap! :-)

Maybe give Chromer a call and see what he can do as far as part and price.
