Hello to all! Okay....I have a 98 legacy manual trans awd sedan,,,the center ujoint on drive shaft is toast...I got the rockford ujoint to replace old one(have done staked in u=joints before)...but what I need to know is...if i unbolt just the back half of the drive shaft and leave the front intact,,,will i be able to drive car?and if so...can any damage occur.?I am hearing differing opinions and need the right one so I can arrange transportation to work if needed.....Y'all input would be just awesome....thanks Spencer

hello to all! just picked up a 98 legacy l sedan for 750 bucks as a get around car....interior is leather and 9.5/10...exterior...well ,maybe 5/10.motor seems torquey,minimal valve cover seepage,no bad leaks anywhere to be seen...yet.no CEL.new clutch(pedal feels kinda spongy...normal?)but shifts solidly.got a vibration between 20-50 or so then smooths out...maybe drive shaft..we will see.fun to drive!i will be going thru it this weekend to nit pick it.i am a good mechanic(MAZDA CERTIFIED),,,and am happy to answer any questions y'all might have within my field.I have heard good things about subarus in general,and looove the motor layout.anyhow...glad to be here and i know that y'all will be able to help me out with tips on these cool cars....Peace!
