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

[Martin, Gary G]

Could this just be the infamous drying out of the front CV joint. Not
sure it is a CV, but the joint is near the exhaust system, and when the
greased dried out of mine at about 100k miles, I would get a vibration
during acceleration at lower RPMs in the first couple gears. Shop
dropped the exhaust and regreased it. Cheap. End of problem. Hope it is
yours and  HTH

Gary

I just read on UrS4.com about the BMW carrier bearing that will fit some
Audi drive shafts, but th emounting bracket is shorter. Anyone BTDT? Is
this the failure point of these shafts? I am trying to get more info
together, it just started to vibrate while acceleratting in 1st gear
(only the low RPM part of 1st gear). Should I expect it to worsen
quickly?

Thanks for the input and advice
Chris

PS that's funny Bob :-)
