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

[Martin, Gary G]

Yeah, the mounts didn't look any different to me either. I thought, oh
crap!, this won't make a difference. But the slight vibration left after
the drive shaft regrease, was gone.

I just replaced the tranny mounts on my '93 S4 (93K miles) while doing
the suspension.  They didn't look much different than the new ones I put
in (certainly not by eye), but it eliminated all of the motion in the
gearshift lever when on/off throttle.  Didn't have any vibration before
or after doing these, so can't speak to that.
