Huh. I think lugnuts when I see that name.
I'd be tempted if I couldn't find one in the junkyard, but
Dorman-engineered from 100% new materials
Fabrique au Chine
because I'm old enough to remember
when things weren't...

Well, if it says US- made, for $300 I can't get a stock driveshaft rebuilt.
I'd try it, if I couldn't find a good one in the junkyard or for $100 off R3V...
Dorman's parts are not bad- I've used wheel studs, bolts, etc from them
for years, and never had anything that made me stop and go 'huh???'
fwiw,

Yeah, early CSB has a different bracket than the late one for some reason. No idea what possessed them to change that but maybe they had a good reason to.

The CSB goes with the body- fortunately, they left the driveshaft the same,
and just changed the way the bracket mounts to the body.
So a late car needs a late CSB, an early car an early one.
Give it a run up to 90 and feel the tunnel- if it's not thrumming or vibrating unusually,
it's good.
Good find!
