I have a 2006 Hyundai Tiburon GT that I just recently had to take to the shop for an evaluation because I was hearing some squeaking from the front end of my car. I just got my front right axle replaced and was thinking that was the cause of it but they ended up telling me that I need to replace my intermediate shaft because the bearing was bad and that is what was causing the squeaking? I also have to replace my front tie rod ends. I am not an expert with car repairs so I was wondering if anyone knew of what brand/kind I need? I have an uncle who is a mechanic so I just need to find the parts. Any help would be much appreciated. I am a complete newbie so please don't mind my lack of knowledge with this type of thing.

Intermediate Shaft Replacement
2 reading
Welcome to the forum. I'm not sure what you mean by the "intermediate (drive?) shaft" as I'm not sure that the Tiburon has one. Someone else may be able to speak up on that.
When it comes to ordering parts I've had great experiences with ordering from Rockauto, a site sponsor here. The layout of their site is very nice for finding parts quickly and they have quite a bit for the Tiburon which you might not find other places since parts for our cars can be difficult to find. They also have a monthly 5% discount code in the vendor section. For your tie rod ends (and most other suspension parts) I would suggest parts made by "Moog". They have quality suspension parts and in most cases their aftermarket versions are thicker/sturdier than the OEM.
Good luck!

This is what they had on my receipt. They gave a whole list of items that they recommend I do but this was the repair they said I should get done immediately. Also thank you for the suggestions of tie rods and places to look for parts!

Also note that Quick Steer is a subsidiary of Moog as well, so you can be sure those are going to be of the same quality.
There is an intermediate shaft on the passanger side of the transmission that then the CV axel slides into. I have not been able to find anywhere that sells one "New" though... So like I said in your FB post Ask them where they are getting it and let me know haha. That very well could be the problem since there are bearings in there, but have very rarely heard of them going out. I work just 1 day a week at a crappy auto parts store (not saying which) litterally just for discounts since I work on too many cars in my free time and we cannot even special order that part.

I think the only place you can buy the intermediate shaft new is a Hyundai Dealer. Prepare to get raped though. A while ago I searched and searched for anywhere else to buy one or if I could just buy the bearing. I couldn't find the bearing anywhere separate so I just browsed ebay for a low mileage shaft and went with that. You may also be able to find one in a local salvage yard as the 2.7 was used everywhere in the Hyundai/Kia line up. Just be aware I think the one for an auto is different than the one for the 5/6 speed manual.
