[s-cars] Driveshaft: New or Rebuilt?

[chris chambers]

Tom,

What symptoms are you experiencing?
Sometimes the center support bearing is fine, the only problem is one or both of the CV's have dried up grease.
This can be remedied by removing the old dried grease and re-greasing the CV joint.

Whatever you do I highly recommend you AVOID using 034's replacement center bearing.

HTH
Chris

 Looks like I need a new drive shaft
 for my '95 S6 (part no. 4A0521101B).
 Any thoughts about rebuilt v. new?  I priced it out and
 rebuilt is $495 v.
 $1,500 new.
 
  
 
 I consulted the Quattroworld FAQs and got some good wisdom
 from the
 Tornado//S6 Driveshaft R&R posting from 2004, and Wayne
 Dohnal's 2008
 follow-up post.  Wayne listed two shops that can do the
 rebuild: Driveshaft
 Specialists and Powertrain Industries. I've spoken with both
 and pricing is
 identical.  Anyone have a favorite?
 
  
 
 Also, is there any difference in the driveshaft for '95 v.
 '95.5?
