Default Intermediate steering shaft

Will a 2001 intermediate steering shaft fit a 2000 model? There is play in the plastic hemispherical coupling in my 2000 FRC and the GM replacement sphere has the same slop. The 2001 intermediate steering shaft coupling I came across has a metal U-joint and no play.

What year is your car and does it have a telescoping column?

'97-'98 are interchangeable.
'99-'04 are interchangeable.

Interesting - my 4runner has the same issue - I removed the column and had 2 tack welds put on the "coupling shaft" and my play is gone....
