[s-cars] Driveshaft replace/rebuild? sources?

[chris chambers]

Igor, please do tell...

What I have learned so far (if I understand correctly) is that there
are two cv joints (rumor has it they are porsche 911's) and the center
bearing, are you refering to the center bearing being easily replaced
with a mercedes benz one? Is this the common failure on the driveshaft
or are the CV joints another problem.

I think it's time to crawl under the car and learn for myself. The
mechanic was pretty vague, stated something about being loose and
couldn't tell much becasue it is enclosed.

Any thoughts....btdt?

Thanks
Chris
