November 3, 200322 yr 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.
November 4, 200322 yr 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
November 4, 200322 yr 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.
