Is there a part number for this bearing? My definitely failed so I pulled my shaft out and the bearing looks like its replaceable. Also if y'all might have a PN for the 3 bolts the hold the shaft on that would be amazing as well. I asked the dealership on two separate occasions to check my drive shaft bolts as I think one may be missing. I never got a follow up on that so my bad for assuming that they checked and all was well. Turns out yes, a bolt was missing and I'm assuming thats why my bearing went out.

It looks as though these are for AWD mine is a RWD I'm really trying not to buy the whole driveshaft but it looks like that might be the best option.

I don't know if the 3rd generation CTS has a replaceable U-joint. Gen 2 had the center U-joint staked in place, requiring one buy a new shaft.

Yes you may be rite. However, mine does come apart via a spline shaft rite after the U-joints. I also did locate a center support bearing that's a fit for this vehicle. Just had to use a bearing puller to get the damaged one off. The U-joints are not serviceable. at all. When I went into the dealership to find some options for my problem all he could do was show me a printed out illustration of the shaft and its components. When I pointed to what I needed, the bearing and 6 (six) bolts he said sorry man, if you want that bolt you gotta buy the whole shaft kit.. And that will run ya $900 and some change. He couldn't give me a part number or anything. I walked outta there thinking how sneaky GM is. I did find a few company's out there that frown on this type of merchandising and offer an aftermarket, rebuildable OEM fitment solution.
