Driveshaft. First major breakdown.

[Classic Heartbeat]

My suggestion would be (if you cannot get yours fixed) is to find one in the states. Have whoever you get one from send it to a reputible driveline shop here in the states and have it completely rebuilt, ballanced, and new carrier bearing installed. There are many reasons to do this. First off witch you are in the United Kingdom so anything sent wrong like the front end of a driveshaft that has not been ballanced with the rear of yours will be a waste of shipping dollars and a good amount of time. Secondly, if the splines in the driveshaft are worn out or close to it, the driveshaft will vibrate and you will have to rebuild it anyway. (again you are across the pond so shipping dollars and time a huge factor there.) Also have them send you a new set of straps to bolt the driveshaft back to the rear end. (because) Unless you drill out the rear end yoke for the "U" bolt style straps, or replace the rear end yoke with one that accepts them you won't be able to use them. If you replace the rear end yoke, be sure to have them send you a new pinion seal. Also make sure that if you replace the yoke, that the pinion bolt is put back exactly where it was when you started. If not your rear end will be short lived and you will find yourself needing to rebuild it also. WES
