Default Steering Shaft

For awhile now, my cars been following the grooves of the road, BADLY. Driving downtown, my arms would actually start to hurt from trying to make the car go straight.

We put it up in the air this morning at work, and I figured it would be the rack bushings. I wish that were the case.

The bushings moved a tiny bit, but nothing that would cause my degree of tramlining. So I decided to go further up the shaft. U-Joint.

You can wrap your hand around the shaft and literally move it side to side (not turning it).

I'm not looking into spending $240 on a shaft from flaming river or MM, I dont need my car to turn like a miata. Is there anywhere that sells OEM replacements (besides dealer)? I can't seem to find any.
