    Replacement Driveshaft

    I have the driveshaft out of my car since I'm in the middle of replacing the clutch on my 1989 325i (manual trans) and I noticed that the U-Joints on my driveshaft are failing. I'd like to get a replacement before I put it all back together. I've done a search and have seen the the following places mentioned:

    Beyer Motor Works (http://www.beyerdriveline.com)
    Mesa Performance (http://www.mesaperformance.com/index.html)
    Driveline Service of Portland(http://www.driveshafts.com)

    Does anyone have any recommendations or comments about the service, quality, price, shipping, etc? I know that Beyer only ships to shops and parts stores outside of Arizona, but I have a few friends that might be willing to order one for me. Thanks.

    I just ordered one from Beyer (They gave me a # of one of their local distributors (Steve - 706-647-0302)).

    We'll see if my vibration goes away after replacing the DS/Motor Mounts/Diff mount. I've already got new trans mounts. If this doesn't cure the vibration I'll be certain my chassis is bent. In which case I'll fucking drive this piece of shit off a cliff :-)

      When i got my e30 it had a bent driveshaft, i ended up getting a reman one with re-serviceable zerk fittings from Driveline Service of Portland.

      Great deal, I think i payed around 320 for it and it came with a warranty

      Highly recommend them

        Mesa Performance seems to have shut down, both phone numbers and their email are disconnected.
