Rebuilt driveshaft options?

[dirtrider372]

My u joints have quite a bit of play, so I need to get mine rebuilt or order a refurbished one. Has anyone had any bad experiences with this place: http://www.wholesaleimportparts.com/driveshaft.php? I saw this site mentioned on here a while back, but I couldn't find anyone saying bad things about them. Anyone have any opinions on this company's rebuilt shafts?

Thanks,

Ryan

I have no info to offer on that company BUT I know a lot of guys on here have used a place called Driveline of Portland. May be something you'd want to look in to since you're in Portland as well.

I purchased one through Driveline Service of Portland. $375 plus $75 core charge.

+1 for Driveline services of Portland. Great service and mine has worked fine so far.

Thanks for the input guys. I ended up ordering one from that online place last week because i was in a hurry. Lets hope it works well. From now on I'll use Driveline services of Portland, since everyone seems to think highly of them.

Didn't wanna start a new thread just to throw in this bit of info, so i figured i would [quasi]necro post. I got a rebuilt driveline from Driveline Services of Portland about a month ago. $400, works great. Also, their customer service is top notch, etc. etc. The thing I wanted to let people know is that they no longer rebuild them with user replaceable u-joints. I asked them specifically about this and they said that their guy that used to do it had retired, and that nobody else could do it. This made me sad. So, if that's an issue for you, just beware. I found a post or two saying that they did the user replaceable thing, and that's why I went with them over Turner, so I just wanted others to know things had changed.

Maybe not a deal breaker since the stock ones last a long time. Mine was ok for 300k miles and probably 25 track days. Granted, I try to be gentle on the drivetrain, so if you're doing clutch kicks or trying to 'catch second' or whatever, serviceability may be more of an issue.
