Re: drive shaft
i had the same problem 2 weeks ago mine went out, had to replace it with a used cv style, sucks because the U-Joint style all the parts stores have you replace it with is so damn expensive
Re: drive shaft
You haven't bought a new CV joint drive shaft yet, they are about the same price as the u-joint style.
There are many advantages to installing a u-joint drive shaft, the most important being the ease of replaceing the joints when one breaks or starts to go bad. the main reason for the u-joint shaft being better, it is really tuff to repair a CV joint on the trail when they do this:
Plus the new CV is about 5 time the cost of a set of u-joints.
