Driveshaft Q's

[Kaklikian, Gary]

Check with Blaufergnugen (www.audiquattroparts.com) for the center support
bearing and CV's.  I've yet to find a source for the u-joint.   After
ruining the driveshaft on my 4000 in an attempt to upgrade the center
support and balance the assembly, I bought a used one in good condition for
$100.  It's usually only the center support that needs replacing.   If you
mark the orientation of the shafts before you split the u-joint and
reassemble the same way, you won't have a problem. 
I don't think the 4k and 5k driveshafts are interchangeable.
