Spam: Help with center driveshaft parts, 4000Q, 5000Q and 100Q

[Max Wellhouse]

FWIW,  I have a complete 87 4kq driveshaft assembly for sale.  Car 
has sat for 2 1/2 years, but the driveshaft center bearing and the CV 
joint ends were very quiet with no vibration at all.  The joint 
grease isn't Dry" or caked looking either and the seal boots are 
good.  Make me an offer I can't refue.
