A friend  recently replaced the driveshaft on a 90q20v (my old one that
I had sold  him). He ordered a completely rebuilt driveshaft from
Shokan (everything:  new CV's, new carrier bearing, U-joint with grease
insert) for $450. Not  bad at all. All you have to do is remove your
old one, install the rebuilt  one, and return the old for a core
refund.

IIRC, a new driveshaft  assembly from the dealer is over $1k. So, for
$450, the rebuilt is a nice  unit. Just holding it, it spun with ease,
making me wish I had one so  lubricated. (Lobbing up the easy
response).

Also, Blau sells rebuild  kits (with new replacement parts all around)
for $380 (price for the  90q20v); however for the extra $70, I think it
is worth it to have it  prebuilt. Fighting with getting the CV's
together, etc. is not worth the  effort.



Thanks for the response... was begining to think there wasn't much  
driveshaft experience out there.  I've never used Shokan before... I'm  assuming I 
could find them by doing a search on the net.
Take care,
Dave
