Default Need front driveshaft help

I have been hearing a squeak from my driveshaft towards the front of the XJ for a couple weeks now. I'm pretty confident that I need to rebuild the double cardan joint.

I am having problems finding the parts. Does anyone have a link or at least the correct word for what I need to buy? So far I have seen it called;
Centering yolk
Socket Yolk Assembly
Front CV Joint
CV Centering Link
Dual Cardan Drive Shaft
Centering Ball
DOUBLE CARDAN cv PARTS

The problem is, I can't find any of that online. I realize I need 3 u-joints. But what is the other thing called?

Nice. I'll add another name to my list above and still be no closer to finding the part I need.

PS. That article calls it a centering ball.

It's in the 7,6,2 area of this diagram however they too don't say what they hell it is called.
This same diagram is on Quadratec however they conveniently left off the names of the part as well.
