    best place to buy a new/rebuilt driveshaft?

    i need one. whats a good place to get one and what can i expect to pay? thanks for the help. might just be a csb or guibo but if i remove a part i always replace it with a new one. from what i read i understand you have to remove the driveshaft to replace both of these. thanks for the help

    You can replace the guibo w/o removing the drive shaft. If the guibo is bad it will be obvious from a visual inspection. However, if the rubber mount of the CSB has has failed in almost all cases that will have happened as a result of binding u-joints in the drive shaft. Meaning that both the drive shaft and CSB need to be replaced.

    I like the rebuilt drive shafts that DriveLine Services of Portland offers.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

      this^. also, if you're thinking about checking the driveshaft, remove it and inspect the u-joints. if they move around freely, time to rebuild. it's always better to take it to a local driveshaft shop. Here in Dallas, the local guys will charge about $400. Which, considering how often i've pulled my driveshaft off and replaced it, thats a hell of a deal.
