Junk Yard or New?

[trry96]

Fairly cetrain my U Joint is bad. Also, the driveshaft in the car hasn't been tested since I purchased the car. P/O didn't mark the driveshaft before removal.

If it were your car, which would you pick?

Since the u-joints in e30's aren't serviceable, I'd say a "new" shaft was in order. Either that or buy a remanufactured one.

New or reman

If you want a reman I just bought one from these guys for my 87.

Price included the center support bearing and the guide bushing.
I was happy with their price and service.
