Default can someone point me to the right direction

so i found out the problem i had with my car, was the u-joint on the driveshaft.

now my question is, can you buy them seperatley? i cant seem to find a price on them. or maybe i have the part name wrong. i called places, and its a dealership part. but i would like to know if im calling it the right name....or is it attached to a different part, and the u-joints come with them. thanks in advance!

I think it's a rubber joint not a u joint

Not sure what year your 300 is but here is the part for year 2000 may be the same for other years

37511 3751124010
COUPLING, FLEXIBLE 02 Ships 24-48 hrs $267.94 $222.85

well see on that diagram what i need is 37101A. theres play there. when im driving i hear clicking noises. and i know clicking noises can be 567890 things. but ive been at this problem for 4 days now replaced parts after parts, and today i put it on the lift and seen the noise was coming from the driveshaft. but as you stated will that part cause it to click?. becuase that part your showing me there is rubber.

Look at it if it's cracked it could. If it is bad it will be visible

I'm not following you.37101a is a weight to balance the drive shaft
Remove 37511 from front and rear of drive shaft and visually inspect them if they are ok then put them back on if not replace them

I see that there is one u joint but it looks like you can not buy it separately. If it is that joint maybe at a place that balances and fixes drive shafts they can match it and replace it. Or there is always the junk yard (car-parts.com)
