Called a couple of drive line shops - explained what I had - BMW e30 - and I got a little pushback on whether they really could do it.. Both state they didn't see the replacement u-joint in their paper catalogs.. I stated I could locate it (but then i got wait time in shipping) and bring it in.. Since the ujoint was staked - both shops suggested "it might be best" that I get a new driveshaft.. depending on the inner lip whether they could get a circlip installed (or something) . THey'd both be happy to look to see what they could do - friendly enough, but I need this ol girl back up and running.
So basically for time constraints - I went with the Dorman through RockAuto ... $525 shipped - It has the aftermarket replacement u-joints and Looks / sounds like they come from the Reno NV factory - prolly the same Powertrain industries since Dorman owns 40% of that company. Don't have too much time in messing around with locating the best deal unfortunately.
