toybuilder Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 Are not replaceable on my 1990 Loyale?? That is what the parts guy at the local dealer told me today when I inquired about purchasing them. He said you have to replace the whole shaft. $500+ dollars!! Guess I'll be combing the Pull-n-Save tomorrow for a "new" drive shaft. I put a full time 4wd tranny in my wagon and the old shaft just isn't going to cut it..... Anyone have any experience with this? I'm getting a quote from a local driveshaft shop to remake my shaft with replaceable u-joints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 Yep - they are staked in - it will probably be cheaper to get a used one. It's rather expensive generally to put in serviceable joints. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAWalker Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 You can get the proper size u-joints for replacement. It is a bit of a job getting the old ones out and cleaning up the "stakes" so you can put the new ones in. If your a DIY'er it is the most affordable route to go. The replacment joints are IIRC around $15. I think I've got a part number somewere. I'll look for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toybuilder Posted November 4, 2003 Author Share Posted November 4, 2003 A part number would be great, thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
