Yup, sure is.  When mine got loose and vibrated on my 5ktq a couple years
ago, I called GPR and gave them the Lobro (manufacturer of the CV) part
number which is stamped on the CV joint.  It seems the joint cost ~$100.
 YMMV.

for these joints.  If anyone knows where to get them, please post as a friend
is looking for one.
