Clunking? on my 87 325is?

From what I've researched and as others have already pointed out, the real problem is not the CSB but the U-joint not being servicable. The CSB and/or guibo going bad is usually a direct result of bad u-joint. Many driveshaft rebuilders usually replace the u-joint with a servicable one but I don't know how many times one car would need it's u-joint replaced if it was properly rebuilt the first time.

The original ujoint generally craps out at 150,000 to 220,000, my car is near 300,000 and I plan on seeing 500,000...so 3 or 4 maybe?

I still say drop the cash at the stealership. Cheap insurance IMO.

Hell, Matt, maybe a shortened Ford 9" too!

lmao, hey I remember seeing a link to a Swedish thread where someone backhalved an E30 to put in a 4 link with either a 9" or a Dana 60. I'd be down to do it. ;)
