There are at least three vendors (one located right in your back yard) here who support our community and have them for sale. Why not support one of them? |

Who is the one in my back yard? Not familiar. Hell, how do you even find a list of forum sponsors? Did a search and couldn't find anything.

My personal opinion would be to purchase the complete GKN center shaft. The price difference between the complete shaft and the two rebuild kits for the CV joints is not enough to justify the real hassle of disassembling, reassembling and balancing a self refurbished shaft. |

I will second that - replacing the CVs on this shaft is not nearly as straightforward as one might think. I ended up going the new shaft route. |
