August 24, 201312 yr 97 OB Wagon with a 96 Lego tranny... about 200k Miles. I started getting a noise that sounded like a rear wheel bearing, but discovered a bad front U-joint and subsequent output shaft seal/bushing/driveshaft shaft wear. I got a seal, but can't seem to find the bushing anywhere. Is this a dealer only item (it is Saturday, dealers are closed, and I am trying to get this done today)?

There is a small amount of play in the main shaft... maybe 1/32" or 1/16"... doesn't seem like too much. The U-joint is practically seized in one direction, so I assumed that was the culprit. I guess I should have mentioned that this car has been operated in FWD mode for the last 80k miles with absolutely no problems.
