So to make a long story short, i grabbed a 85 325es last week as a winter beater/2k15 drift missle. Drove it for the week and it had a vibration at 60+ mph, mechanic who i bought it off said it was the wheel, i kinda believe him. It had a 1 pc custom poorly made driveshaft that had a heafy bent which caused it to turn into a candy cane and snap. So I acquired a driveshaft from an 86 after hours of searching locally. Sent a friend to get it and when he got back i was informed that it had no center support, or the hardware to retain the bearing and secure the two halves together. So i ordered a center support, the clamp nut and a new center support bushing if its bad, only checked flex disc upon removal.
Now looking at oem part diagrams it shows two different locking nuts locking the drive shafts together with a splined washer in between, but they have the same part numbers. And yet any write ups i look at for reference using close up pictures i only see the one large nut. Im ordering the dust covers and c-clip now which i realized i forgot but do i need another nut or will the one large one i already got suffice?
