1996 explorer xlt u-joint!

[dom2017ford]

I'm having a bit of trouble finding the piece I need and a buddy at work says somebody on here can help!

I own a beautiful 1996 explorer xlt, but I can't drive it. Steering started to feel tight, brought it to my mechanic and he informed me I needed a new/usable lower steering shafts u joint. Although, he can't find the u joint because they're discontinued. Just my luck. Is there anyone who may know where to get one? It's been three weeks since I could drive her.
