[s-cars] I'm back from my honeymoon and the car is still in one piece...sort of

[Dave Burig]

Chris,
I am talking to Scott Mockry at http://www.sjmautotechnik.com/ about this
right now.  The CV joints at each end are about $85, and the boots for then
are $17, IIRC.  He has most of the parts in stock, and knows about/can
provide the BMW center bearing piece as well, although you would have to do
the mod.  I'm wondering if he would be willing to provide a complete kit
with the center bearing mod, if there was enough demand.  I was under the
car this weekend, trying to convince myself that this was a job that I
wanted to tackle myself...

We got back from our honey moon Saturday afternoon.

We left Michigan and drove through indiana and Ohio to pittsburgh, then
up to vermont. From there we drove through New Hampshire to Main for
lunch, back to Vermont, and then took the ferry to New York State and
drove to Niagra Falls before driving to Canada and returning to
Michigan.

We had alot of fun and the car was very dependable..

BUT

It seems the Front rotors must have been wearing thin and warped
causing the steering wheel to vibrate when braking. Where is a good
source for stock rotors?

Also the vibration in my driveshaft came back with a vengance, I need
to re-find information on rebulding the drivewhaft. I do not want to
pay $1,100 for a replacement shaft. Luckily a kind lister has offered
up their old driveshaft for me to rebuild, that way I can swap out the
shaft and minimize downtime. I will then offer up my shaft as a core to
anyone else that needs one. Any known good sources for u-joints and the
BMW? part number for the replacement center bearing/carrier.

Thanks

Chris
