Intermediate steering shaft U-joint. Can you replace it?

[PNWYukon]

I'd get rid of that thing, it probably has play in it in addition to the noise it was making.

I did order a new one, that was green, from GMpartsdirect, but it was not even close to the same. The lip was different and so was the tab placement. The bearing was the same plastic race and bearing cups.

I'm tracking down some steering clicking/play while turning slow.
What are the symptoms of this intermediate shaft failing/needing replaced ?
