Need a drive shaft for 2022 GT

Hey guys,
Looking to replace the drive shaft on my 2022 GT with 27,000 miles. When apart to re-lube the splines, I found the bevel box end has a "set" when manipulating the joint in one axis. Called my local dealer and they want $700. No rebuild kits available. I'm hoping there's a more reasonable source for this part. Is there a parts house out there that would carry a shaft at a better price.? My dealer is crazy expensive for anything.....

Thanks,
Larry

If the shaft itself is good you could try taking it to a specialist drive-line shop. The bearings will almost certainly just be an off the shelf product that they can source.

Hmm.....driveline shop might be able to rebuild the U-Joint? Maybe somebody has done this on the forum? If so, are the part numbers available.....
I'll have to visit a local drive line shop and ask....

you should be able to get replacement u-joints (or spiders as they are called in some parts of the world). It is extraordinarily unlikely that Triumph have had a specialized sized u-joint made, it is almost certainly the case that they have used an existing u-joint size. A driveline shop will be able to buy the joint from whoever manufactures it if Triumph don't supply the u-joint as a separate part to the shaft.
