[s-cars] driveshaft woes

[Varon H. Fugman]

OK, in addition to the center bearing carrier assembly, I need a new center
U-joint on my driveshaft.  The CV joints at each end are bone dry, too, but
it sounds from the list that repacking with grease usually brings them back
to life.

So given that at a minimum I need the U-joint and a center bearing carrier
(not available, would need to fabricate with BMW part or send old one out to
have a new center bonded in), plus the driveshaft would need to be
rebalanced after installing a new U-joint, is it worth pursuing, or should I
just bite the bullet and get a replacement Audi driveshaft?

No point doing lots of legwork and figuring out how to make that BMW part
work if all the shop charges are going to add up to the cost of a new
driveshaft anyway!

Any suggestions on sources for the driveshaft?

P.S. My wife had a great idea... just leave the driveshaft off and have the
worlds only FWD S6!  Horrid thoughts of welding the Torsen solid briefly
flashed through my mind!  Ahhhhhh!
